Comes Love
Norah Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comes a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can get another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done

Don't try hiding, 'cause there isn't any use
You will start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done

That's all brother, if you ever been in love
That's all brother, you know just what I'm speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake




Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Norah Jones's song Comes Love touch on the idea that when love comes, there's nothing that can be done to stop its power. The first two verses use weather and other natural disasters as metaphors for the unexpected and uncontrollable nature of love. Whether it's raining, snowing, or a fire is burning, there's nothing one can do to fully prepare. The third verse suggests that hiding from love or trying to resist it is futile; it will always find you and will cause your heart to "turn on the juice." Even when faced with physical pain or emotional turmoil such as a headache, toothache, or depression, the power of love will always prevail.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of inevitability and surrender to the force of love. No matter what happens, love will find a way to make itself known and felt. The song speaks to the universal experience of falling deeply in love and all the ups and downs that come with it.

This is great. Not quite as good as the one live at House of Blues in New Orleans. She is underestimated on keyboard - nice interplay with vocals.
