"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.
I'll always remember
When you were lost in the rain
I knew that moment, my whole life had changed
You told me to save you
From all the pain in your heart
I knew that moment, we will never part
I can give you everything you need
If you only say you'll stay with me
All my love, is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there, to lift you just a little higher
Fill your spirit with desire, all my love
Is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there to take you just a little higher
Until you burning with desire, all my love
It's never ending
That flame that grows inside
We're starting something, when our hearts collide
I can give you everything you want
If you only say you'll be the one
All my love, is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there, to lift you just a little higher
Fill your spirit with desire, all my love
Is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there to take you just a little higher
Until you burning with desire, all my love
I can give you everything you need
If you only say you'll stay with me
When you were lost in the rain
I knew that moment, my whole life had changed
You told me to save you
From all the pain in your heart
I knew that moment, we will never part
I can give you everything you need
If you only say you'll stay with me
All my love, is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there, to lift you just a little higher
Fill your spirit with desire, all my love
Is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there to take you just a little higher
Until you burning with desire, all my love
It's never ending
That flame that grows inside
We're starting something, when our hearts collide
I can give you everything you want
If you only say you'll be the one
All my love, is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there, to lift you just a little higher
Fill your spirit with desire, all my love
Is what I want to give you
Everyday, everyday I love you
I'll be there to take you just a little higher
Until you burning with desire, all my love
I can give you everything you need
If you only say you'll stay with me

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
