Come for Me
Yearning Echoes: Twin Peaks' 'Come for Me' Unraveled
Lyrics
Coming for me
Anticipating someone's arrival
I hope you really are
Expressing a desire for confirmation of that arrival
Awaiting all the time I seem to be
Feeling like time is passing slowly while waiting
Coming for me
Reiteration of anticipating someone's arrival
I hope you really are
Re-emphasizing the desire for confirmation of arrival
Awaiting all the time I seem to be
Repeating the feeling of time passing slowly while waiting
Well, I could be watching a movie
Comparing activities to the anticipation of the awaited person
I might as well be watching you
Preferably watching the person instead of something else
Well, I could be ordering sushi
Metaphorically likening the act of ordering food to wanting the person
Well, I might as well be ordering you
Expressing a preference for having the person instead
Coming for me
Reiteration of the anticipation and longing for the person's arrival
I hope you really are
-Awaiting all the time I seem to be
-Coming for me
-I hope you really are
-Awaiting all the time I seem to be
-Well, I could be working on a farm
Contrasting mundane activities with the desire to be where the person is
I might as well be where you are
Expressing a wish to be with the person instead
Well, I could be in a police car
Metaphorically referring to undesirable situations while preferring the person's presence
But I might as well be in your arms
Strongly desiring to be embraced by the person
Yeah
Acknowledgment or affirmation
Coming for me
Continued emphasis on anticipation and longing for the person
I hope you really are
-Awaiting all the time I seem to be
-Coming for me
-I hope you really are
-Awaiting all the time I seem to be
-Well, I wouldn't mind the rain
Indicating a willingness to endure discomfort for the awaited person's arrival
If it was falling when you came
Expressing a preference for the awaited person's presence despite unfavorable conditions
Alright
Expression of affirmation or agreement
(La la la la) La la la la la
Reiteration of the willingness to endure unfavorable conditions for the person's arrival and a direct invitation for them to come
No I wouldn't mind the rain
-(La la la la) La la la la la
-If it was falling, falling all day
-(La la la la) La la la la la
-If you were calling, calling on me
-(La la la la) La la la la la
-So just come along
