xoxo Lyrics

In the corner of your notebook

I wrote grids for tic tac toe

And in the grids, we ticked boxes to fill it with xes and oes

You were adamant to win

Yet all I really wanted

Was another reason to be with the person

That I adore the most

To see you grin or get frustrated over a game that most kids know

And what was just pen strokes

Or scribbles on a page

Drew out a line to connect us

That could never be erased

And even if I could

I wouldn't change

A thing

And I know that I shouldn't

Put meaning to every thing

But two letters arranged

To try to place

Themselves into three in a row

To them it's another game of tic tac toe

But to us, it's more like

Xoxo

And although x and o are far apart in the alphabet

And everybody knows that they are so different

But together side by side

They compliment and combine

To form a perfect balance

Between total opposites

In a grid with empty space

They complete

To make a cross between

What's round and straight

And what is just a circle

Waiting in the middle

Of a square

With an x in the corner

Playing a game of laissez faire

Even if I could

I wouldn't change

A thing

And I know that I shouldn't

Put meaning to every thing

But two letters arranged

To try to place

Themselves into three in a row

To them it's another game of tic tac toe

But to us, it's more like

Xoxo

Oh, the cat's games

Got me crossing my toes for more plays

And the close games and tie breaks

Are my tactic to go to next

Best arrangement of an O and X

Look, even if I could

I wouldn't change

A thing

And I know that I shouldn't

Put meaning to every thing

But two letters arranged

To try to place

Themselves into three in a row

To them it's just another game of tic tac toe

But to us, it's more like

Xoxo

'Cause, to us it's more like

Xoxo
