Lyrics of
XO

XO was inspired by Beyoncés fascination with Coney Islands amusement park and how people risk their lives on rides and games, a metaphor for vulnerability in love and the risk of not expressing oneself before its too late. This feeling was intensified after Beyoncé was informed of the Challenger astronauts death, who died in a televised accident in 1986, which she watched as a child. It made her reflect on the importance of communicating love and ... appreciation to the important people in our lives. See more [+]

Your love is bright as ever
Even in the shadows
Baby, kiss me
Before they turn the lights out
Your heart is glowing
And I'm crashing into you
Baby, kiss me
Before they turn the lights out
Before they turn the lights out
Baby, love me lights out

In the darkest night I'll
I'll search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out

We don't have forever
Baby, daylight's wasting
You better kiss me
Before our time has run out, oh
Nobody sees what we see
They're just hopelessly gazing
Oh baby, take me, take me
Before they turn the lights out
Before our time has run out
Baby, love me lights out

In the darkest night I'll
I'll search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out

I love you like XO
You love me like XO
You kill me girl XO
You love me like XO
All that I see
Give me everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my lights out


In the darkest night I'll
I'll search through the crowd
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, love me lights out
Baby, love me lights out
You can turn my light down
