BACKGROUND: This track describes a relationship where one person sees the relationship as a pattern of circumstance and nothing more; whereas, the other person sees something beyond the pattern---as if binary code finally takes on a life of its own.

[Verse 1]
She maps the heart like ancient bones
Charts love in stratified unknowns
A carbon date on every kiss
She catalogs what others miss

She’s not one for sweet clichés
She studies hearts like DNA
Her notes are sharp, her gaze precise
She doesn’t gamble — she rolls the dice

[Chorus]
X’s and O’s, 1’s and 0’s
She decodes the highs and lows
Love’s a lab, and I’m her test
She dissects my every guess
Data points on passion’s prose
X’s and O’s, 1’s and 0’s

[Verse 2]
She said attraction’s not by chance
It’s pheromones and circumstance
She kissed me like a case study
Filed my soul under “Somebody”

Her love’s a lens, a microscope
She breaks me down in waves and scopes
I’m more than myth, I’m more than lore
She’s digging deep to find the core

[Chorus]
X’s and O’s, 1’s and 0’s
In her mind, it all just flows
She tracks emotion like a tide
Love, observed and quantified
No fate, just cause — and she knows
X’s and O’s, 1’s and 0’s

[Bridge]
She traced my fingerprints in time
Like artifacts of love’s design
Not fragile hearts, but coded dreams
That speak in logic-laced extremes

Still I hope beneath her charts
She’s hiding soft, unmeasured parts
A place where science gently slows
To whisper sweet X’s and O’s

[Final Chorus]
X’s and O’s, 1’s and 0’s
Her heart beats in ratios
But I see sparks behind her eyes
A truth no theory can disguise
Love’s not solved — it only grows
Between the X’s and the O’s
Beyond the 1’s and all the 0’s

Heart Coded (X's & O's...1's & 0's)

Music is one of my true loves. After having recently moved my crates of music across country from storage, I fear I have unearthed a long-dormant creative side.  Enjoy these meager attempts at organizing words and noise into something credible :)
