“Will We Really Let It End Like This?” by Yeah Nah Yeah – A Song Feature

 

     Yeah Nah Yeah is Australian slang for “Yes.” It is also the moniker of the duo comprising Ali Calder (keys, vocals) and Thomas Keating (guitar, vocals). Their bio states that they are “A little bit Yeah and bit Nah, but mostly Yeah.”

     Our favorite song from the duo is "Will We Really Let It End Like This?” They explain the song:

 “Tom wrote it after watching some people very close to him go through a breakup. It's about the devastating process of untangling your life from someone else. And the desperation you feel trying to hold onto something that is slipping away. When it is all over and done with you ask yourself: ‘Will we really let it end like this? Will we really give up on something that took so long to build? Is this really it?’ And so your life goes on without that person. You have new experiences, meet new people… you take up old hobbies again and find new ones. But something inside you still wonders if it's really over. And sometimes after finding a way back to yourself, you find a way back to that person too."

Lyrics of “Will We Really Let It End Like This?” by Yeah Nah Yeah
I have been afraid
I am not invincible
I'm holding on this time to be alright
 
Stupidly I wait
For your words they bruise my bones again
Won't you hold my hand so I can mend?
 
I said I'd calm down but now I'm falling apart
Drinking in the sun because I just can't start to feel
Anything at all
 
I told you it's a phase something I'm going through
Another week down now I'm losing you I know
 
Will we really let it end like this?
Will we really let it end like this?
 
Divide our lives in half
Divide our friends on principle
Pull the photos off the wall
 
I said I'd calm down but now I'm calling again
For the seventeenth time just fucking listen to me
I know things need to change
 
I'm not just going to sit here and pretend I'm alright
I'm not just going to let you go and ruin your life
No I won't
 
Will we really let it end like this?
Will we really let it end like this?
 
I'm not alright
I'm not okay
I've been waiting everyday
Will we really let it end like this?
 
If this is our last try let’s make it last all night
Don't want to wake up and find out that I've been dreaming
[Repeat 3 times]
If this is our last try let’s make it last all night
Don't want to wake up and find out that you’re really leaving
 
Will we really let it end like this?
Will we really let it end like this?
 
I'm not alright
I'm not okay
I've been waiting everyday
Will we really let it end like this?
Will we really let it end like this?
Will we really let it end like this?
