Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you and me
We're just crazy
So when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
The world is lazy
But you and me
We're just crazy
So when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Ever since I was a little girl
My mama always told me
There'd be boys like you
So when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun
I hate sleeping alone
I hate sleeping alone
I hate sleeping alone
I hate sleeping alone
Alone
Alone

The song "When I'm With You" by Best Coast is about the feeling of pure joy and excitement someone can experience when they are around that one special person. The first two lines of the chorus, "The world is lazy, but you and me, we're just crazy" suggests that the world around the two individuals might be mundane and uneventful, but when they are together, their lives are filled with excitement and adventure. The repetitive lines "Yeah, when I'm with you, I have fun" emphasize the exhilaration and satisfaction that being with this person brings. The phrase "boys like you" in the bridge refers to a romantic interest, and indicates that the artist has always been told to look out for men like the one she is singing about.
The pre-chorus "I hate sleeping alone" shows that the artist is not content without this person, and the repetition of the word "alone" at the end emphasizes the loneliness and emptiness she feels when she is not with them.
Overall, "When I'm With You" is a simple, yet powerful love song that captures the feelings of exuberance and delight that come from spending time with someone meaningful.
