We Had a Deal
Navigating Life's Broken Promises: We Had a Deal by Onelinedrawing
Lyrics
I had a deal with Heaven but it fell through
I made an agreement or pact with Heaven, but it didn't work out.
I had a dream or seven and I'm not sure which one came true
I had multiple dreams, and it's unclear which one actually became reality.
I'm the one that never runs, I'm the one that never stays
I am someone who doesn't run away, but I also don't stay in one place.
I'm the one that disappears, I'm the one that never fades
I tend to disappear and don't leave a lasting impression.
I am clear and solid truth, I am just one big betray
I represent the clear and harsh truth, a person who betrays others.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow.
A reference to the optimism expressed in the song "Tomorrow" from the musical "Annie," possibly ironic in this context.
I dream of days that go slow, I dream of someone that won't go
I daydream about slow-paced days and a person who remains with me.
Forget what's coming, forget what's went
Suggests letting go of past and future concerns.
Let's make some laws that make some sense
Advocating for sensible and meaningful laws to be created.
Something stolen or something lent
Refers to the ambiguity of whether something was stolen or borrowed.
A preacher or a president
Contrasts a religious figure (preacher) with a political leader (president).
That never lies and never sins
Describes an ideal figure who neither lies nor sins.
All tells us what a mess we're in
Reflects on the chaotic state of affairs and the mess humanity is in.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow.
Reiteration of the optimistic reference to "tomorrow."
I dream of days that go slow, I dream of someone that won't go
Similar to line 9, expressing a desire for unhurried days and a stable relationship.
I had a deal with Heaven but it fell through
Repeats the idea of a failed deal with Heaven.
I had a dream or seven, but now I'm not sure which one came true
Reiterates uncertainty about which dream(s) actually materialized.
We had a deal, but now I'm not sure
Suggests a shared agreement with an unspecified party but expresses doubt about its validity.
I dream of days that go slow, I dream of someone that won't go
Echoes the desire for slow-paced days and a lasting connection with someone.
