You say that Gainesville's got no soul
Well that sounds like a good excuse for coming home
And this Tallahassee skyline that keeps singing out a song
And now it's your song they've been singing all night long
And this Tallahassee rooftop just keeps calling out your name
To come and sing

So stay
So stay

So stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay
And then I'll say
That I missed you
And these words
They'll convince you, to stay

I poured through every song I wrote
Every line that I've cried every note that was split with this pen
And every line in every song, they all seemed to come out wrong,
Until

Your song
So lets sing it all night long
And this Tallahassee skyline hasn't changed
While the view from every rooftop says to stay

So stay

Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
Ill sing you every song I know if it will make you to stay
That I missed you and these words
They'll convince you

And I could call you baby doll all the time
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say, "I missed you boy"

Now sing it over again, and over again, and over again (x3)

Still you'd say
That I missed you
And these words
They'll convince you
And I'm hoping as I kiss you

[Repeat x2]
And I could call you baby doll all the time
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say, "I missed you boy"
So sing it over again, and over again, and over again

    I believe the first line goes..."And you say that Gainsvilles got no soul". I couldn't figure out how to edit the lyrics, so oh well. There are other things that could be corrected, but I don't have all night. -Mike

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
