Come to Me
Anne Geddes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what
No matter where you go
Or what you do
And knowing you
You gonna have to do things your own way
And that's okay
So be free
And promise me
Just one thing
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I've always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on earth you are
You can come to me
Don't walk around
With the world on your shoulders
And your highest hopes
Laying on the ground
I know you think
You've gotta try to be my hero
But don't you know
The stars you wish upon
They fall, it's true
But I still believe in you
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I've always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on earth you are
You can come to me
And those seven seas you sail
Or the winding road you roam
Leave you lost and feeling all alone
Let my heart be your beacon home
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby, come to me
Come to me (come to me)
I've always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
When the world breaks your heart
No matter where on earth you are
You can come to me

The lyrics talk about how the singer will always love and care for the person, no matter what they do or where they go. The singer encourages the person to pursue their dreams and be free to explore the world, but at the same time, they offer a safe haven for them if they ever need to cry. The singer reminds the person that they were always meant to fly, but if the world ever breaks their heart, they can come to them.
The song's lyrics express an understanding of the need for independence and exploration, but also the importance of having a support system to rely on when things get tough.
