Say one you're numb
Say two you're naked
Say three it's all been done
These numbers help,
These numbers foll you
They stay when you are gone
Count one you move
Count all the others
you disappear
Cause you never laugh
I count the reasons
Why you are near
Cause you've never known me

    My Interpretation

    I also think this song is about casual sex, about one night stands. It reminds me of a big crush I had two years ago. We met online and most of our interactions were there, we just met twice in person and, even it there wasn't sex involved, we got naked and we were kinda numb because we were a bit drunk. But we stopped talking since then.

    Only the numbers remain, there were no encores. :(

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
