You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving

from The xx – Tides Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

Like in the poem The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls, everything comes to an end, the tide falling, or “leaving”, representing that.

And just like you can’t stop the falling tide, you can’t stop someone from up and hoppin' out of your life.
