When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me
'Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
And while you're watching
You may think that she doesn't matter
But no one knows you better, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I need a sign or a signal
I've overthought everything I can think of into symbol
I need the coat and your jacket
And the remnants of your cigarette packet
I wanna go so what'd you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me
'Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter
And while you're watching
You may think that she doesn't matter
But no one knows you better
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
"Say My Name," a song by ODESZA featuring Zyra, is a reflective track about the complexity of relationships and the struggle of wanting to connect with someone who may not feel the same way. The song starts with the artist expressing her desire to communicate her feelings to her love interest but feels uncertain if her love interest reciprocates her feelings or not. The lyrics, "I wanna go, so what'd you say? When you gonna let me know if you give a damn about me? 'Cause you got my hands tied" suggests that she feels trapped in the relationship with her hands tied, waiting for a response.
The chorus of the song reinforces the artist's desire to connect with her love interest; "I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you. So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah". This implies that the artist is urging her love interest to take a chance on her and to dance with her.
The second verse of the song further extends on the uncertainty of the relationship. The lyrics "I need a sign, or a signal. I've overthought everything I can think of into a symbol. I need the coat, and your jacket, and the remnants of your cigarette packet" represent the artist's desperation for any sign that her love interest has feelings for her. The artist is searching for any remnants of her love interest's presence that will assure her of her love interest's feelings.
"Say My Name" is a reminder of the heart's yearning for connection and the risk that comes with opening oneself up to others. The song's production, which features compelling beats and ethereal harmonies, creates a hypnotic atmosphere that enhances the lyrics' emotional weight.

I wanna go so what'd you say
I want to leave, so tell me what you think
When you gonna let me know
When will you give me an answer
If you give a damn about me
If you really care about me
'Cause you got my hands tied
Because I feel trapped by you
In my defense I always fall for confidence
I tend to be attracted to people who are confident and self-assured
And your compliments look good on me
I enjoy the compliments you give me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Because the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter has been through it too
Than the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter
No one understands better than someone who has experienced hardship
And while you're watching
And even though you're watching us
You may think that she doesn't matter
You might not think she's important
But no one knows you better, oh yeah
But she understands you better than you think
I need a sign or a signal
I'm looking for a clear indication of your intentions
I've overthought everything I can think of into symbol
I've analyzed every little thing and turned it into a symbol
I need the coat and your jacket
I want your clothes to have your scent on them
And the remnants of your cigarette packet
I want to keep even the leftover ashes of your cigarette
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
I want to dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
So let's take a risk and dance together
Oh yeah

I wanna go, so, what'd you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me?
'Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense, I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner
With the Scarlet Letter
And while you're watching
You may think that she doesn't matter
But no one knows you better
I wanna dance
I wanna dance, dance, dance with you- you
So, take a chance
So, take a chance
I wanna dance
I wanna dance, dance, dance with you- you
So, take a chance
So, take a chance
I need a sign or a signal
I've overthought everything I can think of into symbol
I need the coat and your jacket
And the remnants of your cigarette packet
I wanna go, so, what'd you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me?
'Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense, I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner
With the Scarlet Letter
And while you're watching
You may think that she doesn't matter
But no one knows you better
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you- you
So, take a chance
So, take a chance
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you- you
I wanna dance, I wanna dance
