This feeling never leaves you alone
You pull the trigger on your own
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital

Not will you ever rest your head
You end up feeling mostly dead
Pretending you're the last one
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
On the way to the hospital

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars

It never used to hurt before
It isn't funny anymore
You're feeling so alone now
Funny how you wish some way that you could die at the hospital

You're quiet on the car ride home
You're waiting for your head to explode
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
All the way to the hospital

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close my)
Before I close my eyes
I hope to give it up
(Take off my)
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
And leave the lies to the liars

He thinks he fooled them all
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
He thinks he fooled them all
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)
(Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray)

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close my)
Before I close my eyes
I'm gonna give it up
(Take off my mask)
I take off my mask
And leave the lies to the liars
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Leave the lies to the liars
Hey, hey, hey

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
