[Verse 1]
You’re tying both your shoes
Talking like it’s nothing
Drop my name in the room
Like you’ve always done it
Laughing with your friends
Then I hear you say it
“Yeah
That’s my wife”
And the world goes weightless
[Chorus]
When you call me wife
It bends the sky around us
Like a dream that woke up
But stayed in the daylight
When you call me wife
I’m fourteen in my bedroom
Drawing hearts on paper
Didn’t know it’d feel like
This
When you call me wife (oh-oh)
When you call me wife
[Verse 2]
Coffee on the stove
Dishes in the sink still
We’re late again
Of course
Running down the hallway
Taxi on the curb
Door is almost closing
You turn back
Grab my hand
Tell the driver
“wait for my wife”
[Chorus]
When you call me wife
It bends the sky around us
Like a dream that woke up
But stayed in the daylight
When you call me wife
Every scar feels holy
Every past mistake
Just a road that led to
This
When you call me wife (woah)
When you call me wife
[Bridge]
Do you hear my heart trip?
Trip over your soft lips
Such a simple small word
But it rewrites my whole world
Say it in the grocery line
Say it when you’re half asleep
Say it when we fight and cry
Promise me you’ll still say
[Chorus]
When you call me wife
It bends the sky around us
Like a dream that woke up
But stayed in the daylight
When you call me wife
I’m standing in a white dress
But also in my old room
Both at once
It feels so
Real
When you call me wife (hey)
When you call me wife
