Come What May
The Tide Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause you know I would never leave
I don't want to run away this time
I will be waiting patiently
If it's love we've found
I'll let my guard down
If you're the ocean, I'm the wave // Am I the only one
If you're the bridge then I'm the bay // Tell me that I'm the only one
I'll be right here, come what may // Come what may
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
I don't know if your words are true
Baby will you please believe me
You would see if you only knew
If it's love we've found
I'll let my guard down
If you're the ocean, I'm the wave // Am I the only one
If you're the bridge then I'm the bay // Tell me that I'm the only one
When you don't have the words to say
I'll be right here, come what may // Come what may
If you're the ocean, I'm the wave // Am I the only one
If you're the bridge then I'm the bay // Tell me that I'm the only one
When you don't have the words to say
I'll be right here, come what may // Come what may
The lyrics to The Tide Rose's song Come What May speak about being unsure of whether the love they have found is true, and yet being willing to let their guard down for it. The opening line poses a question- is their love meant to be? Despite doubts, the singer declares their commitment, stating that they won't run away this time. The lyrics also express a willingness to wait patiently for the other person, indicating that they are choosing to believe in the power of their shared love.
The lines "If you're the ocean, I'm the wave/If you're the bridge then I'm the bay" metaphorically describe the delicate balance between two partners in a relationship. They suggest that one person can be a strong force while the other is more malleable, and that their roles can switch depending on the circumstances. The lyrics reassure the other person that even when they don't have the words to say, the singer will be there for them, regardless of the challenges they may face ("come what may").
Overall, the song revolves around the theme of love that may not always be easy, but that is worth fighting for. Through its poetic language, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, devotion, and trust in the face of uncertain times.
