[Verse 1]
I wash the blood from my hands
Before you wake and smile
Your shirt hangs on the chair
Like the safest place for miles
You kiss my forehead soft
Ask if I slept all right
I say I had a fever
And I hold your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the moon goes thin
Something in me calls
My bones start singing low
Behind these kitchen walls
I bite my tongue, I pray
You never see me turn
'Cause I love you with a heart
That could still learn to burn
[Chorus]
I love my husband
I love my husband
Don’t look too close
When the cold wind hums
I love my husband
I love my husband
I’m yours by day
By night, I run (I run)
[Verse 2]
Your work boots by the door
Your keys beside the bowl
You laugh at my burnt toast
And you steal my coat
On Friday nights you hold me
Like I’m made of glass
I trace your ring and wonder
How long this spell can last
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when the moon goes high
My shadow grows wild
The beast I keep in chains
Wakes up like a child
I say my little prayers
I nail down every door
But love makes me stay close
And the secret makes me more
[Chorus]
I love my husband
I love my husband
Don’t look too close
When the cold wind hums
I love my husband
I love my husband
I’m yours by day
By night, I run (I run)
[Bridge]
If I slip into the woods
And the dark calls my name
Would you leave a lantern on
Would you wait for me the same
I’d come back in the morning
With mud under my nails
A wife with torn up memories
And a heart that never fails
[Final Chorus]
I love my husband
I love my husband
Don’t look too close
When the cold wind hums
I love my husband
I love my husband
I’m yours by day
By night, I run (I run)
I love my husband
I love my husband
Even with the moon
I’m still your one (your one)
