Come to me
X.I.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's late
There's a place I go
I go to wait
You know where it is
And you know the way
It's where we want to be
But nowhere we can stay
More than you ought to be
Meant to forget you
But you stayed with me
So close those bright eyes
And meet me in between
I won't ask you
What this could mean
Come see me
Where nothing can be real
Let's just try
The things we feel
You and me
Far from everything
In some kind of dream
Never worrying
And when we wake up
So far apart
No one will know
The secrets in my heart
Come see me
Where nothing can be real
Let's just try
The things we feel
Come see me
Where nothing can be real
Let's just try
The things we feel
The song "Come to me" by X.I.P. talks about a place that the singer goes to when they're alone and it's late. The place is where they want to be but can't stay. It's a place where the singer hopes to meet their love interest who's been on their mind more than they should be. They're supposed to forget this person but they can't seem to let go of them. So, the singer asks this person to meet them in between, even though they won't ask what everything could mean.
The chorus repeats the request for this person to come to them where "nothing can be real." The singer wants to try the things they feel, far from everything, in some kind of dream. The song takes a melancholic turn as the singer mentions waking up far apart with the secrets in their heart. The singer's longing for this person is palpable throughout the song. The lyrics evoke the feelings of hope, sadness, and longing, and give the impression of a love that's unrequited or unattainable.
