As Soon As The Tide Comes In
Emotions Unravel as Love Sets Sail
Lyrics
You'd better get some sleep for a change
You should get some rest and sleep.
Before tomorrow brings you down
Take a break before the challenges of tomorrow overwhelm you.
By three o'clock they'll both be sitting on that plane
By three o'clock, both individuals will be on a plane heading for their honeymoon.
Hopelessly honeymoon bound
They are bound for their honeymoon in a hopeless or desperate manner.
And I hope no one asks you to kiss this bride
Hoping no one requests you to kiss the bride.
Or tie tin cans to the car
Avoiding traditional wedding customs like tying tin cans to the car.
And if friends and relations mingle outside
If friends and relatives gather outside, you can stay at the bar.
You can linger at the bar
You have the option to avoid socializing and remain at the bar.
So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon
Wishing for rainclouds to block out the moon, indicating a desire to escape or avoid the romantic atmosphere.
Let the action begin
Anticipating the beginning of events or drama.
You'll feel like some soap opera star
Feeling like a character in a soap opera, likely overwhelmed and turning to alcohol.
Predictably hitting the booze
Drinking alcohol predictably due to heartbreak.
With your standard issue broken heart
Referring to a standard-issue broken heart as a common experience.
You step into your Saturday shoes
Putting on Saturday shoes, possibly to face the situation with confidence.
And you might feel better if you slapped her face
Suggesting violent reactions like slapping her face to cope with emotions.
Or slipped some pills in his wine
Contemplating harmful actions like adding pills to his wine.
But instead some voice in your head keeps saying
A conflicting inner voice advises that laughter will come with time.
You'll look back and laugh sometime
Despite negative emotions, there is an acknowledgment that laughter will come in the future.
So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon
Desiring rainclouds to block out the moon again, indicating a persistent wish to avoid romantic feelings.
Let the action begin
Repeating the anticipation of the beginning of events or drama.
Cause it's as sure as sunrise and as sure as time
Expressing certainty that the bride will change, and there will be tears.
The bride will be changing and you will be crying
Highlighting the inevitability of changes and emotional reactions during weddings.
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
Symbolizing emotional release or breakdown with the mention of rain when the tide comes in.
So put on your lipstick and check that you hat's straight too
Encouraging personal grooming as a way to face the challenges ahead.
Cause if they can go through with it you can do it too
If they can go through with the wedding, you can face it too.
So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon
Reiterating the desire for rainclouds and blocking out the moon.
Let the action begin
Repeating the anticipation of the beginning of events or drama.
Cause it's as sure as sunrise and as sure as time
Restating the certainty that changes will occur, and tears will be shed.
The bride will be changing and you will be crying
Emphasizing the inevitability of changes and emotional reactions during weddings.
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
Symbolizing emotional release or breakdown with the mention of rain when the tide comes in.
And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in
Repeating the symbolism of emotional release or breakdown with rain when the tide comes in.
