Cover art for Tides lyrics by XX, The

I feel like this song is about a relationship that one of them are slowly pulling away from the relationship but the other person is saying how they want the other person to stay with them but they know that it won't happen.(summary at the end).

"You leave with the tide" The person is slowly pulling away from the relationship or is leaving with the tide. "And I can't stop you leaving" The person who wants to stay together knows they can't stop them from leaving. "I can see it in your eyes Some things that lost their meaning" They can see it their eyes that some things have lost it's meaning. Could be things that they used to do together.

"Devote to me Alone with me Say with me "Why would you ever want to leave?"" The person who doesn't want things to end is telling their partner to ask themselves why they would they want to leave, why not just stay together

"Fade out of view I wouldn't do that to you I wouldn't just leave us alone When we could be close, close, close" The person who doesn't want things to end is saying that they wouldn't do that you them, they wouldn't just slowly leave or disappear like that because they know they could be so much more, they could be so close.

"Hold me close when you could leave us alone Why would you just leave us alone When we have been close, close" The person who doesn't want things to end is saying to hold on to the relationship even when things don't feel the same, not to end what they have because of how close they have gotten.

So in summary: A relationship is coming to an end because one of them is caught in the "tide" and they can't get out of it because things just aren't the same and they are just slowly pulling away. The other person wants to stay together and is asking why they can't and telling the other person not to go because they are so close and they wouldn't do that to them even though they know it won't happen, that the relationship will end, they see it happening. So pretty much it's just a relationship that one person is fading away but the other person doesn't want it to end.
