"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.
She was all I ever wanted
She was all I ever needed and more
She walked out my door
Yeah, she went away
Left my heart in two
Left me standing here
Singing all these blues, woo
You left without a single word
Not even sorry
It might've hurt worse to hear you say
"I'm leaving, goodbye"
But your smile still makes my heart sing
Another sad song
I can't forget it, I won't regret it
'Cause I'm still in love with you
We had fun under the sun
And when winter came she'd be my angel
We were so in love
Then she went away
Left my heart in two
Left me standing here
Singing all these blues, yea-yeah
You left without a single word
Not even sorry
It might've hurt worse to hear you say
"I'm leaving, goodbye"
But your smile still makes my heart sing
Another sad song
I can't forget it, I won't regret it
'Cause I'm still in love with you
Still in love with you
I don't know what hurts worse, baby
Seeing you with him or being alone
On my own
I know he doesn't love you, baby
Not like I did
Oh, what's the point
You're not listening anyway
You left without a single word
Not even sorry
It might've hurt worse to hear you say
"I'm leaving, goodbye"
But your smile still makes my heart sing
Another sad song
I can't forget it, I won't regret it
'Cause I'm still in love with
You left without a single word
Not even sorry
It might've hurt worse to hear you say
"I'm leaving, goodbye"
But your smile still makes my heart sing
Another sad song
I can't forget it, I won't regret it
'Cause I'm still in love with you
She was all I ever needed and more
She walked out my door
Yeah, she went away
Left my heart in two
Left me standing here
Singing all these blues, woo
You left without a single word
Not even sorry
It might've hurt worse to hear you say
"I'm leaving, goodbye"
But your smile still makes my heart sing

@[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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
This song was dedicated to Miley Cyrus after her adn Nick Jonas' break-up. He admitted in an interview.
what interview
lol @ people going on every lyric page and saying the song is about Miley.
um ok cocopixie U NEVER KNOW IF ITS FOR MILEY SO STOP TRYING TO BE A KNOW IT ALL cuz u'll never know unless your damn name is nick jonas so thanks, bye. :] and BTW. the song is for miley because I SAW THE SAME ENTERVIEW SO thankkssss. :]
Hahahaha, I agree with Cocopixie. (h5)
he never admitted that in an interview. he's never even admitted they dated.
which. personally. i think is a crock of bull. we all know they did.
uhhh nicholie, we know they did, and he doesnt deny it he just chooses not to have everyone talking about who hes dating. he's all about the music.
this song is awesome and so relateable--we all have had a relationship end for a reason, then kind of linger and say "hmm, i still love you." and especially when it ends on bad terms and there isnt really any closure. which if you listen to the song or read the lyrics, whoever this was written about--there wasnt closure and it didnt end well.
This Song Happened To Me, I'm Trying To Fight To Get Her Back, I Won't Give Up, No Matter How Long It Takes
um please , all you people who say this song is about miley do give us the link to the interview? because i can almost guarantee you , you probably just heard someone tell you that it was in an interview
seriously, nick jonas has more in his life than to have every song he writes be about miley cyrus right? because many of you seem to write the same thing for every song "Oh this song is definitely about when miley and him broke up" umm try again and get some proof before you start listening to rumors and talk
because if you are a true jonas brother fan, you'll listen to what they say about how they hate when people listen to rumors about them because most of them are untrue unless they themselves confirm it
Definitely agree with this statement!
