I get the feeling that this is one of those bittersweet songs about a guy that really likes a girl, but she won't show him any affection unless she's drunk. The "tide" part indicates to me that he can only have her when she's drunk enough, but when she's sober again (and the tide has turned) she won't acknowledge him.
