Say You Will
Shy Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You feel it
Every night we lose our charge
You fear the
Where's the touch?
Nothing left to hit or feel
Lost your pulse
All alone, on a stage screaming
Caged up, screaming
Echoes ain't leaving
There's no shadow behind you
Empty eyes when you look at me
Always saying you will
If you say you will (say you will)
If you say you will, mean you will
I can't fake it like you do
I can't sing it with a forced tongue
Always saying you will
If you say you will (say you will)
If you say you will, mean you will
Lost our spark to the power lines
No feelings
Hiding love in the table wine
No feelings
We stay drunk
Rather drown than keep it real
Just a front
Mimic how we used to feel
All alone, on a stage screaming
Caged up, screaming
Echoes ain't leaving
There's no shadow behind you
Empty eyes when you look at me
Always saying you will
If you say you will (say you will)
If you say you will, mean you will
I can't fake it like you do
I can't sing it with a forced tongue
Always saying you will
If you say you will (say you will)
If you say you will, mean you will
If you say you will, mean you will
If you say you will, mean you will
We stay drunk
Rather drown than keep it real
Just a front
Mimic how we used to feel
All alone, on a stage screaming
Caged up, screaming
Echoes ain't leaving
There's no shadow behind you
Empty eyes when you look at me
Always saying you will
If you say you will (say you will)
If you say you will, mean you will
I can't fake it like you do
I can't sing it with a forced tongue
Always saying you will
If you say you will (say you will)
If you say you will, mean you will
The lyrics of "Say You Will" by Shy Girls paint a picture of a relationship that is falling apart. The couple is inching their way apart, and they can feel it happening every night. They fear the distance growing between them, and they cannot seem to find that touch that once brought them together. The singer is watching the light disappear, feeling entirely alone on a stage, with the echoes of their screams not leaving.
The couple has lost their spark and emotions to the power lines, and they are hiding their love in table wine, unable to express their true feelings to each other. They stay drunk, mimicking how they used to feel and would rather keep up a front than keep it real. The echoes of their screams are not leaving, showing the depth of their pain and the loneliness they feel.
The chorus repeats the line "If you say you will, mean you will." It's as if the singer is begging their partner to be honest with them, not just make empty promises. They cannot fake it like their partner can, and they cannot sing with a forced tongue. They need their partner to mean it when they say they will.
Line by Line Meaning
Inch by inch, you drift apart
You are slowly becoming distant
You feel it
You are aware of the distance between us
Every night we lose our charge
Our bond weakens each day
You fear the
You are afraid of losing me completely
Where's the touch?
Our physical intimacy is lost
Nothing left to hit or feel
There's nothing to hold on to anymore
Lost your pulse
Our relationship has lost its energy and passion
Watching the light disappear
Our love is fading away
All alone, on a stage screaming
You feel like you're struggling alone
Caged up, screaming
You are trapped and distressed
Echoes ain't leaving
The echoes of our past are haunting
There's no shadow behind you
You are empty and lack substance
Empty eyes when you look at me
You no longer see the same love in me
Always saying you will
You make promises, but rarely follow through
If you say you will (say you will)
If you promise to make things right
If you say you will, mean you will
Only make promises you intend to keep
I can't fake it like you do
You pretend everything is okay, but I can't
I can't sing it with a forced tongue
I can't act like everything is still okay
Lost our spark to the power lines
Our love has been drowned out by external pressures
No feelings
There's nothing left in our relationship
Hiding love in the table wine
We use alcohol to numb the pain
We stay drunk
We are constantly suppressing our true feelings
Rather drown than keep it real
We prefer this numbness to the reality of our situation
Just a front
We pretend that everything is fine
Mimic how we used to feel
We try to recreate the past
If you say you will, mean you will
Only make promises you intend to keep
