Xs for My Eyes Lyrics

I went to jail at seventeen
for the murder of my self-esteem,
but I broke out.
I fled to Mexico,
wooed the daughter of a tyrant king
and we ran off to a better place.
I would've stayed just to see his face

So turn around.
You're just as bad as me.

I can't help it.
I feel better when I hear your voice.
I have no choice.
I'm gonna love you 'til there's Xs for my eyes.
I can't help it.
I feel better when I see your face.
I'm in my place
I'm gonna love you 'til there's Xs for my eyes.

And you know it's hard
to give your everything to get that far,
but you're too late
to even set it straight
So turn around.
You're just as bad as me.

I can't help it.
I feel better when I hear your voice.
I have no choice.
I'm gonna love you 'til there's Xs for my eyes.
I can't help it.
I feel better when I see your face.
I'm in my place
I'm gonna love you 'til there's Xs for my eyes.
Oh, it's deeper than bones
for all these years.

So turn around.
You're just as bad as me.

I can't help it.
I feel better when I hear your voice.
I have no choice.
I'm gonna love you 'til there's Xs for my eyes.
I can't help it.
I feel better when I see your face.
I'm in my place
I'm gonna love you 'til there's Xs for my eyes.
