What If We Don't
Chris Bandi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

V1
We could roll up to a party
cause its Friday everybody’s
already probably way to drunk
Ain’t sayin’ that we wouldn’t have fun
Dress up, take it downtown
Hit the dance floor spin you around
Till the band plays the very last song
Till the last call lights come on
Yeah we could stick to the plan meet up with all of our friends
Chorus
But what if we don’t
What if we jump in the truck and find us a no name road
Throw it in park in the dark make a Carhart jacket your pillow
Maybe lay low get to kissin’ on you real slow
You know I love to see you in the neon glow just say the word and baby we’ll go
But what if we don’t
Yeah what if we don’t
V2
We could slow dance, turn the night on, in the headlights like a country song
Check off every old cliché
come on baby what you say
I know your phones blownin’ up
we can go out if you want
Chorus
But what if we don’t
What if we jump in the truck and find us a no name road
Throw it in park in the dark make a Carhart jacket your pillow
Maybe lay low get to kissin’ on you real slow
You know I love to see you in the neon glow
just say the word and baby we’ll go
But what if we don’t
what if we don’t
Bridge
What if we don’t go anywhere I gotta share you with the world
Come on girl
Chorus
What if we don’t
What if we jump in the truck and find us a no name road
Throw it in park in the dark make a Carhart jacket your pillow
Maybe lay low get to kissin’ on you real slow
You know I love to see you in the neon glow just say the word and baby we’ll go




What if we don’t
what if we don’t

Overall Meaning

In Chris Bandi's song "What If We Don't," the lyrics explore the idea of deviating from the usual plans and embracing spontaneity in a relationship. The song starts by describing a typical Friday night scenario, where everyone is already drunk at a party and the option to stick to the plan and meet up with friends is presented. However, the singer suggests an alternative: jumping in the truck and finding a no name road. This signifies a desire to escape the predictability and conventional expectations of social gatherings.


The lyrics continue to paint a picture of intimacy and romance in the midst of darkness. Parking the truck in the dark, using a Carhart jacket as a pillow, and kissing slowly create a cozy and intimate setting away from the crowd. The mention of the neon glow adds a touch of excitement and suggests that the singer appreciates seeing their partner in a vibrant and lively environment.


The bridge poses the question of whether they should share their love with the world or keep it to themselves. It reflects the hesitation that often arises when considering unconventional choices in love, questioning the potential consequences and judgment from others. However, the chorus reiterates the idea of taking a chance and embracing the unknown, asking "what if we don't" follow the expected path and opt for a different adventure.


Overall, "What If We Don't" conveys a sense of longing for spontaneity and intimacy outside of the usual social norms. It showcases a desire to break away from the ordinary and create memorable experiences with a loved one.
