I’ll Call You Mine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting in the back seat
We're driving so fast
Hands out the window
We're not going back
Summer on a green hill
Laughing so loud
Taking my body
And you're taking it down

[Chorus]
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around
And I'll call you mine, and I'll
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around

[Verse 2]
Sitting in the back seat
We're driving so fast
Living in a daydream
It's too good to last
Rainy days and bad luck
Coming my way
I look for you when I am lost
So I don't go insane
[Chorus]
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around
And I'll call you mine, so I
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around

[Bridge]
Show me that you really care
That you're really here
Show me that you'rе gonna stay
On my worst days
Hold me like you'll nevеr leave
Like you'll never leave
Like you'll never leave

[Chorus]
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around
And I'll call you mine, and I'll
Break me down
And I'll call you mine
And I know I've been around

Genius Annotation

“I’ll call you mine” shows Marie doubting her new relationship as a result of previous failures. She is optimistic, however, that this new love will be better, and that she will be able to dive in head first with no regrets.

In hopes of creating a “catchy, summery, driving song,” Marie mixes the sounds of drums, a guitar and her own vocals. Although quiet and slow in the verses, symbolizing hope and tranquility, the tempo accelerates and intensifies in the chorus and bridge, emphasizing Marie’s fear and worry about being heartbroken again. Being both optimistic and upbeat, the song offers a different atmosphere both musically and thematically compared to other songs on her if i could make it go quiet.

The song has received special recognition from one of Marie’s idols, Taylor Swift, following the release of the album. She even shared her excitement on Twitter following Taylor’s comments regarding her album.

What did ​girl in red say about "I'll Call You Mine"?
Genius Answer

It’s such a catchy, summery, driving song. It’s about letting someone in and hoping for the best, even though you’ve been fucked over a few times. I’ve had a tendency to think that nothing good could ever last. You know how sometimes you have fun but then we’re like, ‘Oh, something bad is going to happen.’ Two or three years ago, I’d have fun with my friends, and I’d be driving and I’d be like, ‘One of us is going to die first.’ That always happens, a real death element coming in, or ‘someone is going to get hurt’ element.
