XO Lyrics

I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
To I swear, I say
To I swear, I say

To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club, to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stairs, to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me?" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose love or sympathy
But never both
Love never wanted me

Last time "I hoped you choked
And crashed your car"
Hey "tear catcher", that's all that you are
And ever were
From the start
I swear, I say
I swear, I say

To hands between legs, to “whatever it takes”
To drinks at the club, to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stairs, to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me?" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose love or sympathy
But never both, no

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
[Repeat til end]

i love the ending of this song when it quiets down...loose lips sink ships

Cover art for XO lyrics by Fall Out Boy

xo not only means hugs and kisses but the title under a cork tree is sorta a reference to Elliott Smith and Elliott had a song called XO sure this song stands on it's own, but you can't deny that significance

To the “love” I left my conscience pressed Through the keyhole I watched you dress Kiss and tell (Loose lips sink ships)

I comb the crowd and pick you out- hes seen her in a bad/pub My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out- she cant hear him because of the music etc It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed- she knows shes been caught and hopes it will be better To I swear, I say- thats her saying she hasnt done anything To I swear, I say

To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"- a dudes hand were between her legs really, when he seen maybe ? To drinks at the club, to the bar- bar/ pub they were in To the keys to your car- they went in the car to go somewhere quiter ? To hotel stairs, to the emergency exit door- to a hotel room for sex ? but then early get caught so rush out ?

To the love, I left my conscience pressed Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer "What did it ever do for me?" I say It never calls me when I'm down- im not sure on this bit but seems like hes been a 'good boy' and hes stil punushed ?

Love never wanted me But I took it anyway- hes going out with her even though he knows she doesnt love him

Put your ear to the speaker And choose love or sympathy But never both- refering to their songs ? as most of their songs are about love lifes, but in anegative way? Love never wanted me

Last time "I hoped you choked And crashed your car" Hey "tear catcher", that's all that you are And ever were From the start- saying that she never made him happy I swear, I say I swear, I say

To hands between legs, to “whatever it takes” To drinks at the club, to the bar To the keys to your car To hotel stairs, to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer "What did it ever do for me?" I say It never calls me when I'm down Love never wanted me But I took it anyway Put your ear to the speaker And choose love or sympathy But never both, no

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed Through the keyhole I watched you dress- hes seen them getting dressed after sex? Kiss and tell- been caught (Loose lips sink ships)- loose lips referring to kissing someone else, and the sinking ship is him [Repeat til end]

this is just my interpretation :) hope it helps

I'm thinking the "loose lips sink ships" means if he tells the girl he loves her, or feels more for her than what she does for him, the whole relashionship or one night stand will end ie the "sinks ships" Just my interpritation :)
