Come Be With Me
York Bird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everytime I speak of deeper things
my love has no walls, it has no strings
so if you want to go, if you want to leave
when you're ready, when you're ready, when you're ready
come be with me
I don't want to be angry anymore
so speak your truth now even if it hurts
that you're still looking and it's not for me
when you're ready, when you're ready, when you're ready
come be with me
The lyrics of York Bird's song Come Be With Me seems to be about a relationship where one person is unsure about their commitment and keeps their options open while the other is deeply invested and committed to the relationship. The opening line, "Funny how your eyes keep wandering everytime I speak of deeper things," suggests that the person is not fully engaged in the conversation about significant and profound things, which could be a metaphor for their lack of dedication to the relationship. The singer then declares that their love has no walls, no constraints, and no strings attached, indicating that they want their partner to feel free to leave if they wish to. However, they also make it clear that when their partner is ready to commit, they want them to come to be with them.
The chorus seems to be a plea from the singer for their partner to be honest and speak their truth, even if it hurts, because they have been hurt by their silence. The verse "that you're still looking and it's not for me" elicits the thought that the partner is still searching for something they haven't found in the singer, making the singer vulnerable and somewhat desperate for their love to come to fruition. The last line of the chorus is a repeated refrain that the singer wants their partner to come and be with them, and they don't want to be angry anymore. The song can be interpreted as a call for commitment and honesty in relationships.
