Default It comes down to dealing friends.

Dear All,

A beautiful song by Eagles -- Tequila Sunrise.


I don't really know what the sentence ( It comes down to dealing friends ) means.
Could anyone explain that for me or say that in other ways?
Especially for come down, what does it mean?


Here's the lyric for your reference:

Tequila Sunrise

It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goobye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out running around

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from coming on
It's been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealing friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise, this old world
still looks the same,
Another frame, mm...

It's hard to tell, but it seems to be about unpleasantness between friends. (It seems that they were having an argument about a woman. It happens.) Read It comes down to as meaning it happens or it comes about.

Does that help?
