lyrics

It’s a quarter past the midnight moon
Sleep it won’t be greeting me soon
I’m aching for your arms, baby
I’m lying wide-awake in my room

It’s snowing in the globe on my desk
Been raining in my heart since you left
My cell phone is weeping silently
I called your bluff and now I’m a wreck

We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s
We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s

Smoke, it surrenders to wind
The needle rests on black vinyl skin
My songs are broken elegies
Love lost long before it could win

If pain is a symptom of truth
I spent all of my joy in my youth
And if it’s truth you want, baby
I’d rather by lying with you

We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s
We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s


I’m counting the memories
Us counting the stars
I cheated my bounty
By counting the cards
I failed you, baby
I lost who we are

We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s
We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s

Now regret holds my heart in her teeth
I’m her prey and she’s starting to feed
I pray I find your forgiveness, my lady
Let’s lick our wounds, restore our belief

The checkerboard floor at our feet
You and I a king and a queen
Won’t you dance with me again, baby
Find the flesh of our ghost in these sheets

We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s
We play the games every lover knows
We’re all X’s and O’s
