Try until you finally say you're watching this whole town
You're making my heart bleed, it shows it by your frown
And I'm already sure that money you will listen and I will be the same

It's time to wait for her
Choking on six silly ways
Made my seats hit the way
Now we feel there will be another day ride

Now it's time
I've come to clear my mind
The same same old way back until you come

You're so far away
You're so far away back from this Sunday
(So far away)
You're so far away you're so far behind don't see this Sunday

Through the days I'm wrecked cause I don't know myself
Through the days I'm wrecked cause I don't know myself
Through these moments I'll keep rocking to these lies
So from here we'll make another lie
To make you there to make you mine

Time it kills me everyday just asking you to stay
Just trying to find my way, it happens everyday
I'm reaching to the stars, I'm reaching to the sky
My mind it fades away

I'm sick today for her
Choking on six stupid ways
Made my seats hit the way
Now we feel there will be another day ride

Now it's time
I've come to clear my mind
The same same old way back until you come

You're so far away
You're so far away back from this Sunday
(So far away)
You're so far away you're so far behind don't see this Sunday

Through the days I'm wrecked cause I don't know myself
Through the days I'm wrecked cause I don't know myself
Through these moments I'll keep rocking to these lies
So from here we'll make another lie
To make you there to make you mine
Alright

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
