"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.
Hello
I've got something to tell you
But it's crazy
I've got something to show you
So gimme just one more chance
One more glance
And I will make of you
Another believer
Guess what?
You got more than you bargained
Ain't it, crazy?
You got more than you paid for
So gimme just one more chance
One more glance
One more hand, to hold
You've been on my mind
Though it may seem I'm fooling
Wasting so much time
Though it may seem I'm fooling
What are we gonna do?
(What are we gonna do?)
What are we gonna do about it?
So then
That is all for the moment
Until, next time
Until then do not worry
And gimme just one more chance
One more glance,
And I will make of you
Yeah I'm gonna make of you
Another believer
You've been on my mind
Though it may seem I'm fooling
Wasting so much time
Though it may seem I'm fooling
What are we gonna do?
(What are we gonna do?)
What are we gonna do about it?
I've got something to tell you
But it's crazy
I've got something to show you
So gimme just one more chance
One more glance
And I will make of you
Another believer
Guess what?
You got more than you bargained
Ain't it, crazy?
You got more than you paid for
So gimme just one more chance
One more glance
One more hand, to hold
You've been on my mind
Though it may seem I'm fooling
Wasting so much time
Though it may seem I'm fooling
What are we gonna do?
(What are we gonna do?)
What are we gonna do about it?
So then
That is all for the moment
Until, next time
Until then do not worry
And gimme just one more chance
One more glance,
And I will make of you
Yeah I'm gonna make of you
Another believer
You've been on my mind
Though it may seem I'm fooling
Wasting so much time
Though it may seem I'm fooling
What are we gonna do?
(What are we gonna do?)
What are we gonna do about it?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This was used in Disney's 'Meet the Robinsons". The main character is an orphan who is a genius who just wants to be adopted and have someone love him. This is played during the scenes when he's trying to make prospective parents love him enough to take him home. It's so very sad.
