The song talks about a young, fading relationship built with uncertainty between both partners as to whether there is hope in their relationship, with consideration as to where their lives would lie without each other.
The Chainsmokers and Bebe Rexha collaborated in 2014 for the remix of “I Can’t Stop Drinking About You.” One year before, the American duo remixed “Take Me Home” by Cash Cash, where Bebe Rexha was featured. However, this single marks their first direct collaboration as primary artists on a song.
Call You Mine
The Chainsmokers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's gonna save us now?
When we thought that we couldn't get higher
Things started looking down
I look at you and you look at me
Like nothing but strangers now
Two kids with their hearts on fire
Don't let it burn us out
Think about what you believe in now
Am I someone you cannot live without?
'Cause I know I don't wanna live without you, yeah
Come on, let's turn this all around
Bring it all back to that bar downtown
When you wouldn't let me walk out on you, yeah
You said, "Hey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?"
And I said, "I don't even know what I'm doing tonight"
Went from one conversation to your lips on mine
And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine"
So I call you mine
(Ooh, ah, ooh)
Can I call you mine? (Ooh)
And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine"
Broke kids running through the city
Drunk on the subway train
Set free every time you kissed me
We couldn't feel no pain
You looked at me and I looked at you
Like we'd never look away
Broke kids running through the city
Don't let the memory fade
You said, "Hey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?"
And I said, "I don't even know what I'm doing tonight"
Went from one conversation to your lips on mine
And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine"
So I call you mine
(Ooh, ah, ooh)
Can I call you mine? (Ooh)
And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine"
Think about what you believe in now
Am I someone you cannot live without?
'Cause I know I don't wanna live without you, yeah
Come on, let's turn this all around
Bring it all back to that bar downtown
When you wouldn't let me walk out on you, yeah
You said, "Hey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?"
And I said, "I don't even know what I'm doing tonight"
Went from one conversation to your lips on mine
And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine"
So I call you mine (ooh)
And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine"
Can I call you mine? (Ooh, ah, ooh)
Can I call you mine? (Ooh, ah, ooh)
Can I call you mine? (Ooh, ah, ooh)
Can I call you mine?
The words in The Chainsmokers' song Call You Mine are about two people who are in love with each other, but they are experiencing some doubts about the future of their relationship. They understand that they are like two kids with their hearts on fire and are afraid to lose each other. The idea of saving themselves is the subject of the opening line: "Who's gonna save us now?" They keep in mind that things may not always be as euphoric and are determined to avoid letting their love burn out. They exchange looks that indicate a clear sense that all is not right - "Like nothing but strangers now". However, they both want to make things right, and the song is about their mutual desire to rekindle their relationship.
As they go through a city, maybe reminiscing of their memories, they recall a critical moment at a bar, which was the turning point in their relationship. She asked him, "Hey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?" And at that moment, he realized that he didn't want to spend his life without her. They kissed, and from that point, they knew they were made for each other. As they look back, they want to relive that magical moment and ensure that the future does not fade away.
In conclusion, the message in The Chainsmokers' song Call You Mine is about the highs and lows of love, the desire to save it, and the memories that give meaning to it. All couples experience difficulties, but it's in difficult times that we have to remember what brought us together in the first place and work hard to make it work.
