Come Whatever, Come What May
Embracing Life's Contradictions: "Come Whatever, Come What May
Lyrics
It hasn't been my best year
Expressing that the year has not been the speaker's best.
It hasn't been my worst year
Acknowledging that it hasn't been the worst year either.
But on this day and late December
Reflecting on the difficulty of remembering things on this day in late December.
It's hard to remember
Expressing a struggle with memory.
Whatever was the point
Questioning the purpose or significance of past actions.
I lost a lot of money
Noting a financial loss during the year.
I said the worst things to my honey
Admitting to saying hurtful things to a loved one.
And maybe drank a bit too much
Mentioning a potential issue with alcohol consumption.
I lost some of my touch to whatever was the point
Admitting a loss of skill or competence.
But tomorrow's Christmas Day
Acknowledging that tomorrow is Christmas Day.
Come whatever, come what may
Embracing a positive outlook regardless of what may come.
I'll be singing in the choir
Committing to participate in a choir despite challenges.
Join the children by the fire
Expressing a desire to be with children by the fire.
Though I'm pointless I will stay
Despite feeling purposeless, committing to staying.
And I guess I'll be okay
Expressing a belief that things will be okay.
Come whatever, come what may
Reiterating a positive outlook regardless of circumstances.
It hasn't been the best year
Acknowledging that it hasn't been the best year.
It hasn't been the first year
Recognizing that it's not the first challenging year.
That I've been walking 'round confused
Describing a state of confusion and reluctance in life.
Half asleep and half refused to whatever is the point
Being partially unaware and resistant to the purpose of life.
If you see me in the corner (la, la, la)
Requesting not to be treated as a stranger if seen in a corner.
Please don't treat me like a stranger (la, la)
Asking for familiarity and connection in social situations.
Take my drink and send me home
Requesting assistance with a drink and a plea not to be left alone.
Oh, don't leave me there alone
Expressing fear or discomfort about being left alone.
To whatever is the point (whatever is the point)
Reiterating a sense of uncertainty and lack of purpose.
'Cause tomorrow's Christmas Day
Emphasizing that tomorrow is Christmas Day.
Come whatever, come what may
Reiterating a positive attitude regardless of challenges.
I'll be singing in the choir
Committing to singing in the choir on Christmas Day.
Join the children by the fire
Expressing a desire to be with children by the fire.
Though I'm pointless I will stay
Despite feeling purposeless, committing to staying.
Come whatever, come what may
Reiterating a positive outlook regardless of circumstances.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Instrumental interlude.
'Cause that's my place and that's my way
Asserting a sense of belonging and determination despite feeling purposeless.
Though I'm pointless I will stay
Despite a lack of purpose, committing to staying in the current situation.
And I guess I'll be okay
Expressing a belief that things will be okay.
Come whatever, come what may
Reiterating a positive outlook regardless of circumstances.
