[Verse 1] You were circling choices On a crumpled page Little checkboxes In the hallway haze You just drew one sign Crooked Bold And stressed Two quick lines Crossed over my chest [Chorus] X marks my heart Like a treasure you almost skipped Just a tiny dark spark On a list of the lives you picked You could walk right past But everything stops when our lines intersect X marks my heart That’s the place you never guessed [Verse 2] All our quiet maybes Folded into squares You were tracing corners Breathing through your hair Every almost-answer Every nearly-yes Met right there In the middle of the mess [Chorus] X marks my heart Like a treasure you almost skipped Just a tiny dark spark On a list of the lives you picked You could walk right past But everything stops when our lines intersect X marks my heart That’s the place you never guessed [Bridge] Cross roads Crossed out Cross my mind When you’re not around Two sharp strokes On a blank white start [beat drops to claps and voice] That little X Is my loud Loud heart (oh) [Chorus] X marks my heart Like a treasure you almost skipped Just a tiny dark spark On a list of the lives you picked You could walk right past But everything stops when our lines intersect X marks my heart Yeah X marks my heart That’s the place you never guessed
