Come With Me
Zwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
is something i'll believe
flashlights in the hall
but no call
cause when my day is done
i find where i belong
waiting on the curb
for you to come to carry on
we'll turn around
i care enough to wake you up
to make us mine i'll make you shine
stay the night
stay all your life
just come with me
come with me
won't you come with me
come with me again
come with me
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
fell so high i broke my jaw
i couldn't talk to you
went underground to play around it's true
but i came back
to get you at that place so i could breathe
it's 3 a.m.
and i'm up again
answering the call of all
the flowers by the bed
make me wish my head
was lying and possessed by truth alone a certain home
a wooden gate, a rabbit hole
we'll turn around it won't be long
capture that place, won't it be fun
come with me
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
come with me
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
she means more to me
than any living thing
younger than the blush of spring she sings
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
The lyrics of Zwan's single "Come With Me" revolve around a request to a loved one. The singer, who is waiting alone on the curb, implores his partner to "come with me" so they can forge a life together. He explains that he cares enough to wake her up and make her shine. The bridge depicts how the singer had gone underground to "play around," but has come back to retrieve her at a place where he can breathe. He sets the scene as 3 a.m. and mentions answering "the call of all the flowers by the bed," which could be a reference to a lover's bedroom where the flowers are displayed. The chorus repeats the request for his lover to come with him, with the added request to stay the night or stay with him for life.

all you need
Everything you require
is something I'll believe
Is something I'll have faith in
flashlights in the hall
Lights shining in the hallway
but no call
But no summons or message
cause when my day is done
Because when my day is complete
I find where I belong
I locate where I fit in
waiting on the curb
Waiting on the street corner
for you to come to carry on
For you to arrive and persist
it won't be long
It will not take too much time
we'll turn around
We'll pivot
I care enough to wake you up
I care enough to rouse you from slumber
to make us mine I'll make you shine
To make us belong; I'll make you bright
stay the night
Stay for the evening
stay all your life
Stay for the duration of your existence
just come with me
Simply come with me
come with me
Accompany me
won't you come with me
Would you not come with me?
come with me again
Join me again
(stay the night)
(Remain overnight)
(stay all your life)
(Remain for your whole life)
(just come with me)
(Merely accompany me)
fell so high I broke my jaw
Fell very high and injured my jaw
I couldn't talk to you
I was unable to speak with you
went underground to play around it's true
Went down below to dabble and it's factual
but I came back to get you at that place so I could breathe
But I returned to fetch you from that location so I could inhale
it's 3 a.m.
It is 3 in the morning
and I'm up again
And I'm awake again
answering the call of all the flowers by the bed
Answering the appeal of every flower by the bed
make me wish my head was lying and possessed by truth alone a certain home
Make me wish my head was recumbent and controlled by truth only in a certain abode
a wooden gate, a rabbit hole
A wooden entrance, a rabbit burrow
we'll turn around it won't be long
We'll pivot, it won't take too much time
capture that place, won't it be fun
Seize that location, won't it be enjoyable
she means more to me than any living thing
She represents more to me than any living entity
younger than the blush of spring she sings
Younger than the reddening of spring, she sings

I knew billy during these years and they were the best days of my damned life. Thank you Billy for everything you’ve added to my life!!!!!
@deanasaurs
You sound like a nurturing person I’m sure your personality contributed to his healing in that time
@raffin2040
Awesome. You could tell he was in a great headspace during this era based on how life-affirming all the songs are. So uplifting! How did you know him?
@june8898
@@raffin2040I was a huge fan living in Chicago during this time. I followed the band for awhile and one day he invited me to dinner when I was waiting in line outside the Metro. I was only 23. Still can’t believe it happened….we stayed in touch for 20 years. It’s been a trip! ❤🤟🏼
@raffin2040
@@june8898 damn that’s awesome. So he just saw you waiting in line, you hadn’t met before and he invited you to dinner? At his house?
@june8898
@@raffin2040thanks for replying 😅 I was a really crazy fan when I was young….started at about 19….I’m now 45. i lived in Chicago at the time so I had access to a lot of shows so many fans didn’t. I followed him on tour, small club shows for about 2 years and he took notice. Magically I connected with someone who took me backstage…and I was able to meet him in person. So when I was in line for a charity show he was doing, he recognized me and pulled me out of the line. I hung out with the band Zwan that night and we remained friends for about 20 years. I’ve lost touch with him the last year or two because of his family life but I am so grateful for what I experienced. Billy can be difficult but he was always always nice to me. He never treated me poorly. I guess he trusted me for some reason. 😊
@rayjaymor8754
Zwan was a horribly underrated band
@kbbird
