In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I'm blessed, oh, I guess I'm the luckiest guy in the world
Oh babe, you don't know what you do to me, girl, no
Sometimes I forget to say the things I should say to you
Oh babe, I spend all my time loving you, loving you
Your love makes me strong when things go wrong
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my sun shiny day when skies are gray
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my everything, my whole world revolves around you
In times of despair, you proved to me that your love is real
I like, I like the way that you make me feel, make me feel
So proud I am to be able to say you're my own
Oh babe, in your love I found me a home, found me a home
Your love makes me strong when things go wrong
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my sun shiny day when skies are gray
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my everything, my whole world revolves around you
I betcha didn't even know that
I betcha didn't know that, I betcha didn't know that
I betcha didn't even know that
I betcha didn't know that, I betcha didn't know that
I betcha didn't even know that
I betcha didn't know that, I betcha didn't know that
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my sunshine, you're my sunshine
I betcha didn't even know that
And you're my everything, you're my everything
I betcha didn't even know that
You make me happy, you make me happy
I betcha didn't even know that
No, no, no, no, oh no
I betcha didn't even know that, no
I know you don't know it
I betcha didn't even know that
I wanna spend my life with ya, spend my life with ya
I betcha didn't even know that, no
I don't want nobody else, no, no, nobody else
I betcha didn't even know that
You turn my sky from gray into a sunny day
I betcha didn't even know that
No, no, no, oh baby
I betcha didn't even know that
Oh babe, you don't know what you do to me, girl, no
Sometimes I forget to say the things I should say to you
Oh babe, I spend all my time loving you, loving you
Your love makes me strong when things go wrong
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my sun shiny day when skies are gray
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my everything, my whole world revolves around you
In times of despair, you proved to me that your love is real
I like, I like the way that you make me feel, make me feel
So proud I am to be able to say you're my own
Oh babe, in your love I found me a home, found me a home
Your love makes me strong when things go wrong
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my sun shiny day when skies are gray
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my everything, my whole world revolves around you
I betcha didn't even know that
I betcha didn't know that, I betcha didn't know that
I betcha didn't even know that
I betcha didn't know that, I betcha didn't know that
I betcha didn't even know that
I betcha didn't know that, I betcha didn't know that
I betcha didn't even know that
You're my sunshine, you're my sunshine
I betcha didn't even know that
And you're my everything, you're my everything
I betcha didn't even know that
You make me happy, you make me happy
I betcha didn't even know that
No, no, no, no, oh no
I betcha didn't even know that, no
I know you don't know it
I betcha didn't even know that
I wanna spend my life with ya, spend my life with ya
I betcha didn't even know that, no
I don't want nobody else, no, no, nobody else
I betcha didn't even know that
You turn my sky from gray into a sunny day
I betcha didn't even know that
No, no, no, oh baby
I betcha didn't even know that

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
