[Intro]
Hello?
I think you have me
Wrong number
[Verse 1]
Your name lit up my phone
Like a door in the rain
I laughed too loud alone
When you asked me again
You said, "Is this still you?"
I said, "I don't know"
We both stayed on the line
Like we had nowhere to go
[Pre-Chorus]
And your voice felt close
Like it knew my room
You said, "Sorry, wrong one"
But I heard a tune
A tiny crack of gold
In a broken wire
I held that second longer
Than I should have, liar
[Chorus]
Wrong number, stay a minute
Wrong number, don't hang up
Wrong number, I can feel it
Slowing down my blood
Wrong number, wrong number
You don't know what you found
Wrong number, stay a minute
Till the whole world turns around
[Verse 2]
I saved no reply
Just the sound of your breath
A stranger with my night
And a hand full of yes
The porch light hummed low
On my chipped front step
I stared at the screen
Like it still had your text
[Pre-Chorus]
And your voice came back
Soft as torn-up lace
You said, "I meant to call
Somebody else today"
But the static in your pause
Said more than the words
Like you were halfway gone
And still trying to be heard
[Chorus]
Wrong number, stay a minute
Wrong number, don't hang up
Wrong number, I can feel it
Slowing down my blood
Wrong number, wrong number
You don't know what you found
Wrong number, stay a minute
Till the whole world turns around
[Verse 3]
I told you my first name
You told me your town
How your car won't start
And your brother let you down
I should've said goodbye
I should've let it end
But the moon on the glass
Made a liar of my chin
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Are you still there?"
I said, "Yeah, I am"
Then silence filled the gap
Like a river in my hand
I could've cut the line
And gone back to sleep
But your almost-confession
Sat there in the deep
[Chorus]
Wrong number, stay a minute
Wrong number, don't hang up
Wrong number, I can feel it
Slowing down my blood
Wrong number, wrong number
You don't know what you found
Wrong number, stay a minute
Till the whole world turns around
[Verse 4]
Morning pulled its shade
Across the cracked blue tile
I heard your easy laugh
Through the whole damn aisle
You asked if I believed
In chance or in fate
I said, "I believe"
And you went quiet again
[Bridge]
Bare hands on the strings
One last open ring
You said, "Maybe it's better
If we leave it here"
But I wanted the edge
Of that almost-knowing
The small, reckless spark
Of a call not chosen
[Chorus]
Wrong number, stay a minute
Wrong number, don't hang up
Wrong number, I can feel it
Slowing down my blood
Wrong number, wrong number
You don't know what you found
Wrong number, stay a minute
Till the whole world turns around
[Verse 5]
Now the phone stays still
And the room stays dim
But I keep that one mistake
Like a lock with a thin gold rim
If you call again
I'll pretend I'm not alone
And answer on the second
Like I already know
[Tag Outro]
Wrong number
Stay a minute
Wrong number
Don't hang up
Wrong number
I can feel it
Wrong number
Turning us around
