Say You Will
Mercutio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't wait to kiss me
And when you're away
The minutes crawl by every day
Say you love me
That you're thinking of me
And when you're around
My feet never stay on the ground
I'm not singing
'Cause my phone isn't ringing
So call me up, dear
I'll say anything you want to hear
Don't ignore me
Don't say that I'm boring
My loving is here
But who knows where I'll be next year
Say you will
Need me still
When the walls fall in around me
And when you held my hand
By the ice cream stand
And we stayed up all night
Bleary eyes filled with light
Yeah, I fell for you then
Say you're sorry
I don't have to worry
And I'll sing you a song
You were probably right all along
Say you need me
That you'll never treat me
So indifferently
Don't take these words lightly
Say you will
Need me still
When the walls fall in around me
Oh, say you will
Love me still
When I'm acting out
When we scream and shout
We're still a team
Ooh, ooh
The song "Say You Will" performed by Mercutio tells a story of a relationship in which one person desires to feel wanted, appreciated, and loved. The singer pleads with their lover to express their affection and commitment by saying that they miss them, can't wait to kiss them, love them, and need them no matter the circumstances. The singer makes it clear that they want to hear these words because they are not being communicated. The singer is anxious and insecure about their relationship as evidenced by the lines "Don't ignore me, don't say that I'm boring, my loving is here but who knows where I'll be next year." The last verse of the song offers a hopeful message that despite the ups and downs of the relationship, the couple will always remain a team.

Say you miss me

When you're not here
The minutes crawl by every day
The days seem longer without you

And when you're around
When you're with me
My feet never stay on the ground

I'm not singing
I'm not in a happy mood

So call me up, dear
Please call me

Say you will
Promise me that you will
Need me still
You still want me
When the walls fall in around me
When I need you the most
And when you held my hand
When we were holding hands
By the ice cream stand
By the ice cream shop
And we stayed up all night
We spent the whole night together
Bleary eyes filled with light
Tired eyes shining with happiness
Yeah, I fell for you then
That's when I knew I loved you
Say you're sorry

You were right and I was wrong
Say you need me
Tell me that you need me
That you'll never treat me
That you'll always treat me
So indifferently
Without any passion or emotion
Don't take these words lightly
Don't ignore what I'm saying
Love me still
You still love me
When I'm acting out
Even when I'm misbehaving
When we scream and shout
Even when we're arguing
We're still a team
We're still together and have each other's backs

Even though Iβm a woman I have always wanted to play Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet because of Harold Perrineauβs performance. Love him.
Becki Rose
i went to a show of romeo and juliet in london and mercutio was played by a woman!! xx

It would not matter at all. You should, if you're in theater and can get an opportunity. Just like Harold is black and it doesn't matter a bit, unlike current-day gender and color swapping for fake condescending diversity points.
And if you are in theater, I wish you all the success, and hope you get to play Mercutio!
cool jack
β@Becki Rosehe's so good in this show "From"
