Ex Games

(Album: The Scotch Tape - 2011)

[Verse 1]
So, how can I say it so that you will understand
You know that I'm trying to hit and baby you sitting there pitching it underhand
All the sudden its back to when I was your man
But I'ma pause you right there cause I got you on demand
So lemme take it back to when you walk in
Steal the attention from whoever I am talking to
You always find a way to get me
And you been doin it like this ever since the day you met me
I see them lonely eyes, and what you searching for
Something we were before, a love you hurting for
But that was in the past, how are you I ask, damn, it seems the past passes fast
Before I know it you saying you need me if need be
Girl you're like a book with the cover saying read me
The pages turn to the treasure I got
You see I never forgot, that x marks the spot

I know we have to stop
But I'm lovin what we got
I know you can take it
Whatever we promise we just seem to break it
But when I see you its too much
Cause I'm addicted to your touch
And I never seem to get enough, no

[Hook]
I've been thinking maybe me and you
Should get together it seems
That things are better it seems
When we're together we play ex games
I just can't stop playing these ex games

[Verse 2]
She know just what she doing here
Thinking of how she looking and how she looking yeah that's pretty clear
Smoking, so I take her home alone like Culkin
Macaulay, documented sex files like Scully
We say that this the last time but every time its better
We try to just be friends, but I've seen that work never
Whatever, I should say no, but now she kissing me
And she shag well, like Felicity
Saying that this the last time ever since we broke up
Saying you can't sleep without me baby you ain't woke up
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it hurt
And worse is that I never even tried to make it work
It seems that I am tearing out your heart again
Every time I wear it out like a cardigan
Just when we're ending we're back at the start again
For one night, then destined only to be apart again

I feel like we're wasting time
Where do we draw the line
Why we continue to do this
Girl I thought that we had been through this
But when I see you it's too much
Cause I'm addicted to your touch
And I never seem to get enough

[Hook]

Find your way and I'll find mine
Hanging on my hands won't rewind time
I know I should say no
But when you're there I can't let go
And I see you it's too much
Cause I'm addicted to your touch
And I never seem to get enough

[Hook]

I've been looking for a reason to leave
But it's too easy you see
And when I'm near you I freeze
Cause I just want to play these ex games
I just can't stop playing these ex games
I just can't stop playing with you
