In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
What kind of light will bring us all together
When it gets dark we'll only have each other
So take hold of the closest thing to what you want
And don't let go what would they say if we could escape
And spend tonight like it's the best night of our lives
Cast your fears away save your worries for another day
Come with me I promise you won't be the same
I want to be with you come with me (don't wanna wait till tomorrow)
I want to be with you will you come with me?
I want to make you feel like I do
I want to show you the world
I don't want to wait too long
And miss our time to decide take a breath
And ask yourself is it worth it to take this chance with me?
Cast your fears away save your worries for another day
Come with me I promise you won't be the same
I want to be with you come with me (don't want to wait till tomorrow)
I want to be with you will you come with me?
When it gets dark we'll only have each other
So take hold of the closest thing to what you want
And don't let go what would they say if we could escape
And spend tonight like it's the best night of our lives
Cast your fears away save your worries for another day
Come with me I promise you won't be the same
I want to be with you come with me (don't wanna wait till tomorrow)
I want to be with you will you come with me?
I want to make you feel like I do
I want to show you the world
I don't want to wait too long
And miss our time to decide take a breath
And ask yourself is it worth it to take this chance with me?
Cast your fears away save your worries for another day
Come with me I promise you won't be the same
I want to be with you come with me (don't want to wait till tomorrow)
I want to be with you will you come with me?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
