Na Na Na
My Brothers And I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to the edge then you hit the breaks
I say it's over one day
Then I'm crawling back begging you to stay
Make up then we break up all the time
Say that I hate a song
Some people say it's so wrong
But even when we fight, girl, you turn me on
Make up then we break up all the time
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
No we can't make up our minds
'Cause when we think we got it right
We go na, na, na, na, na, na
You were at a party too late
When I do the same all you do is complain
You know that it drives me insane
But when I get with you girl, you make it okay
Make up then we break up all the time
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
No we can't make up our minds
'Cause when we think we got it right
We go na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, it drives me mad
Na, na, na, na, na, na
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
No, we can't make up our minds
'Cause when we think we've got it right
We go na, na, na
The lyrics to My Brothers And I's song Na Na Na describe a tumultuous relationship that is characterized by a constant cycle of breaking up and making up. The singer describes the relationship as a bit of love-hate, where their partner takes them to the edge and hits the brakes. One day the singer declares it's over, and the next they're begging their partner to stay. Despite fighting all the time and sometimes publicly disagreeing on things, the singer finds their partner irresistibly attractive and even when they're fighting, they're turned on by them.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "na na na" and "yeah yeah yeah," which suggests that even though they can't make up their minds and the relationship is unstable, they keep coming back to each other. In the second verse, the singer mentions that when they go to parties and stay out late, their partner complains, but when their partner does the same thing, they make excuses for them. The song ends on a frustrated note, with the singer admitting that the cycle of breaking up and making up drives them mad.
Overall, the lyrics to Na Na Na capture the complicated and often frustrating nature of a toxic relationship that is hard to resist.

We've got a bit of love hate
Our relationship is a mix of love and hate
Take me to the edge then you hit the breaks
You push me to my limits and then change your mind
I say it's over one day
I declare that our relationship is finished on one day
Then I'm crawling back begging you to stay
But then I come back to you and beg you to stay
Make up then we break up all the time
We constantly make up and then break up
Say that I hate a song
I claim that I dislike a particular song
Then you go request it the whole night long
But then you request that song to be played all night
Some people say it's so wrong
Some people think our relationship is problematic
But even when we fight, girl, you turn me on
But even when we argue, you still attract me
We're like na, na, na
We express our indecisiveness with the phrase 'na, na, na'
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Then we suddenly become decisive with the phrase 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
Always like na, na, na
We can't seem to make up our minds and always revert to 'na, na, na'
No we can't make up our minds
We can't seem to come to a decision
'Cause when we think we got it right
Even when we believe we have found a resolution
You were at a party too late
You stayed at a party too long
When I do the same all you do is complain
But when I do the same thing, you always complain
You know that it drives me insane
You are aware that it makes me crazy
But when I get with you girl, you make it okay
But when I'm with you, you make everything better
Oh, it drives me mad
It makes me feel crazy

Na na na na.
You took me to church and I worshipped 'til I fell down on my knees
Asked myself, "who have I been trying to please?"
Listened as the choir of voices sang over me
(Vi-scer-al-ity) Viscerality
I'm so lost without you so I hope that you'll be here in time
I've got honest questions for you
Maybe something's left behind
I feel cold inside
Everytime I hear you
It lights a fire in my soul
Will you let me know?
Will you let me know?
Na na na na na na.
Na na na na.
Na na na na na na.
Na na na na.
There's a fire
In my heart and
I know I'll never be the same
'Cause your love has made me realize
That it's not about the fame
Now you're at the point where I gotta pull my hand away
If you want to walk on your own into another day
Lord, that's what I heard you say, no
Everytime I hear you
It lights a fire in my soul
Will you let me know?
Will you let me know?
Na na na na na na.
Na na na na.

Would you let me know?

Everytime I hear you
It lights a fire in my soul
Will you let me know?
Will you let me know?
Na na na na na na.
