Here we are in the best years of our lives
With no way of knowing when the wheel'll stop spinning
'Cause we don't know where we're going

And here we are on the best day of our lives
And it's a go, let's make it last, so cheers you all to that
'Cause this moment's never coming back

I used to know her brother but I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumping up and down, she's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more whenever I think about you

I've got your mixed tape in my walkman
Been so long since we've been talking
And in a few more days we'll both hook up forever and ever

And here I am on the west coast of America
And I've been trying to think for weeks of all the ways to ask you
And now I've brought you to the place where I've poured my heart out
A million times, for a million reasons to offer it to you

I used to know her brother but I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumping up and down, she's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more whenever I think about you

I've got your mixed tape in my walkman
Been so long since we've been talking
And in a few more days we'll both hook up forever and ever

I used to know her brother but I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumping up and down, she's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more whenever I think about you

I've got your mixed tape in my walkman
Been so long since we've been talking
And in a few more days, we'll both hook up forever and ever

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
