Our Deal
Best Coast Lyrics

When you leave me
The singer is left alone when their partner leaves.

The bed is empty
The physical absence of the partner is felt and noticed by the singer.

And I feel crazy
The singer is experiencing intense emotions when their partner leaves.

Cause I didn't say anything
The artist feels guilty for not speaking up about their feelings to their partner.

I wish you would tell me
The artist wants their partner to communicate honestly with them.

How you really feel
The singer wants their partner to express their true emotions instead of hiding them.

But you'll never tell me
The singer believes that their partner will not be honest with them.

Cause that's not our deal
The artist is aware that the lack of communication is part of their relationship dynamic.

You take away everything
The partner's departure leaves the artist feeling like they have lost everything.

You take all my money
The partner has control over the artist's finances.

You take all my weed
The partner has control over the singer's drug use or access to drugs.

That's your deal
The lack of communication and control over the relationship is part of the partner's desired relationship dynamic.

That's not my deal
The singer does not agree with or desire the current relationship dynamic.

That's your my deal
The singer acknowledges that the current dynamic is part of both partners' agreement in the relationship.

That's not my deal
The singer reiterates that they do not agree with the current dynamic.

That's your my deal
The artist acknowledges that they have accepted the current dynamic to some degree by remaining in the relationship.

That's not my deal
The artist still feels that the current dynamic is not fully acceptable to them.
