I woke up to a drive-thru
Had to hitch a ride to get myself fed
It was late but I know it’s never to late to call you
You’re a good friend with a bad tendency to get in over your head
Don’t you, don’t you fall asleep
(Gonna get us both killed, driving late to Coatesville)
I swear I’ll make it back some day
I swear I’ll make it back

Get out, get out, get out
You’re not driving
Get out, get out, get out
You’re not driving
Get out, get out, get out
You’re not driving
Get out, get out

I woke up on a greyhound to a new town
Then again I was here a month ago
It was your birthday
It fell on a Friday
And I should’ve been there
For that I’m sorry
Regardless

Don’t you, don’t you fall asleep
(Gonna get us both killed, driving late to Coatesville)
I swear I’ll make it back some day
Someday

Get out, get out, get out
You’re not driving
Get out, get out, get out
You’re not driving
Get out, get out, get out
You’re not driving
Get out, get out

We hit the ice
Just before the telephone pole
We hit the brakes
But there was no escape
We hit the ice
And I see a car in your future
They stitch and they sew and they suture
But this day will scar
Right now we know how lucky we are
Don’t you fall asleep (We know how lucky we are)
Don’t you fall asleep (I swear I’ll make it back)

Get out, get out
Get out, get out
I swear I’ll make it back some day (get out, get out)
I swear I’ll make it back some day (get out, get out)
I swear I’ll make it back some day (get out, get out)
I swear I’ll make it back (get out, get out)
Get out, get out,
Get out, you’re not driving
Get out, get out
No, not in the state you’re in
Get out, get out
Get out, you’re not driving
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out

    I think it's "suture" and not "suit you" because suture is a synonym to "sew" and "stitch" and suit you makes no sense...

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/

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
