The first single from Jeremy Shada’s album Mad Love, Will They Won’t They is about a relationship between the narrator and a girl that remains in a repetitive limbo state without going anywhere significant or changing.
[Intro]
How long we gonna do this dance
Tired of all the will they, won’t they romance
When you hold my hand, is it just by chance?
[Verse 1]
Don’t mean to press my luck
But for me this ain’t enough
I don’t want some overrated lukewarm love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Are we this, or are we that
I’m second guessing every second, second guessing every laugh
[Chorus]
How long we gonna do this dance
Tired of all the will they, won’t they romance
When you hold my hand is it just by chance
It’s like we got two left feet, around in circles we step and repeat
Yet when we pull in close our lips they never meet
So will we, or won’t we
Yea will we, or won’t we
[Verse 2]
I’m the Joey to your Phoebe, the relationship that should’ve been
But neither one could see so they just stayed friends
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are we this, or are we that
I need a second to breath (gasp)
(spoken) Alright let’s run it back
[Chorus]
How long we gonna do this dance
Tired of all the will they, won’t they romance
When you hold my hand is it just by chance
It’s like we got two left feet, around in circles we step and repeat
Yet when we pull in close our lips never meet
So will we, or won’t we
Yea will we, or won’t we
[Bridge]
Maybe this love is mad
You’re filling every thought I have
Now I’ve stayed too long
And there’s no turning back
Might as well dance…
[Final Chorus]
Spin around again and again
I love this will they, won’t they romance
Maybe it means nothing when you hold my hand
You’ll never know what you mean to me, cause I won’t say and you won’t ask me
Guess you called my bluff
You know I’ll never leave
So will we, or won’t we
Yea will we, or won’t we
[Outro]
She said I don’t want you, I’m sorry
I just don’t want to, be lonely
