You Can't Say No Forever
Lacrosse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some things you should see
but since were not that close no more
I’m gonna have to let it be
Although it’s really annoying,
and is bugging me a lot
Im just gonna be quiet,
You cant say no forever, no no no,
sometimes you should let it slide, ah ah ah aaaah,
I know I’m not so clever, no no no no,
but you’re not the picky kind
Sometimes when I call you,
I just feel like hanging up
You’re not getting any older
and it never seems to stop
Now if I was your boyfriend/girlfriend,
I would tell you all of this
But since we’re not together
I’m not saying anything at all
You cant say no forever, no no no,
you have to let me in, ah ah ah aaaah,
You are really stubborn, no no no no,
but in the end I always win
Badadaaddadaddadaaaaaaa bada da ba da da
The lyrics of Lacrosse's song You Can't Say No Forever seem to be directed towards an individual with whom the singer was once close to but with whom they have since grown distant. The singer alludes to having several things they would like to say to this person, but acknowledges that they can no longer do so as they are not that close anymore, and must let it be. Despite their desire to speak up, the singer is choosing to remain quiet, hoping that the person in question will work out whatever issue or problem is causing the distance between them.
The chorus seems to suggest that the person might have a tendency to say no, and to be stubborn about letting others in. The singer is implying that sometimes it's essential to let things slide and be more open-minded. The last part of the chorus asserts how the singer would be persistent until they win the other person over, even though they don't seem fond of 'picky' people.
In essence, the song seems to revolve around the idea of missed opportunities and lost friendships, of holding one's tongue and repressing feelings in the face of distance and temporary setbacks. The singer seems to be imploring the other person to let their guard down, to let them in, and to not say no forever, in essence, to keep the possibility of a friendship or relationship alive even if it means making concessions or compromises.

Line by Line Meaning
There are still some things I’d like to say to you
I have some important things to say to you
Some things you should see
There are some things you need to understand
but since were not that close no more
Since our relationship has changed and we're not as close anymore
I’m gonna have to let it be
I will not tell you these things
Although it’s really annoying,
Even though it bothers me a lot
and is bugging me a lot
It's really getting on my nerves
I’m just gonna be quiet,
I'm not going to say anything
and maybe you will work it out - but i doubt it
You might figure things out, but I don't think you will
You cant say no forever, no no no,
Eventually, you can't keep refusing
sometimes you should let it slide, ah ah ah aaaah,
Sometimes it's better to just let things go
I know I’m not so clever, no no no no,
I'm not the most intelligent person
but you’re not the picky kind
You're not a very selective person
Sometimes when I call you,
Every once in a while when I call you
I just feel like hanging up
I feel like ending the conversation
You’re not getting any older
You're not aging
and it never seems to stop
And things never change
Now if I was your boyfriend/girlfriend,
If we were in a romantic relationship
I would tell you all of this
I would share everything with you
But since we’re not together
Since we're not in a relationship
I’m not saying anything at all
I'm not saying anything
you have to let me in, ah ah ah aaaah,
You need to hear me out
You are really stubborn, no no no no,
You can be very obstinate
but in the end I always win
But in the end, I tend to come out ahead
