[Verse 1]
You on that red-eye
I’m on my side
Eating dinner with your name on my screen
You say “I’m tired
This time zone wild”
I say “I’m here
Even when I ain’t seen”
We both got tempers
We both get cold
Hang up too quick
Then call back slow
You say “we good?” with that half-smile tone
I’m like “yeah… but keep your camera on”
[Chorus]
I can’t wait to call you husband
Say your last name with my whole chest
Baby
Put that ring on all this distance
Turn these nights into your breath
On me
We got issues
We still choose it
Every fight we learn our language
Baby
I can’t wait to call you husband
You my forever in a glitchy FaceTime screen
[Verse 2]
You hate my silence
I hate your jokes
When they hit sore spots we ain’t talked through yet
You book a flight
I clear my phone
Make more room for all the love we ain’t spent
You on my fridge in a Polaroid frame
I trace our future like I trace your face
You say “I fear I ain’t enough some days”
I say “that’s fine
‘cause I’m staying anyway”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We ain’t perfect
We just present
We just pressing through the static
Baby
Every layover
Every late night “sorry”
Writing vows in the margins lately
We miss birthdays
But we don’t miss chances
To say “I’m wrong” and then hold that answer
Next time that gate opens
You run to me
I’m hearing church bells in the concrete
[Chorus]
