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've finally found
I've finally found
Something to plug up this snorry mouth
Since the day ['cause today?] she said to me (she saw slee smore)
This house moves more than you (show so snow)
So I tell her I sleep (so so still snore)
To keep from thinking it through (bless me)
Now it's all I can do (___shovel snow ___)
When you pull the sheets up overhead (sometimes so you know)
And she sends me out
To shove snow drifts in my bed (she sings sun she snore)
You'll reach for the door
Arms feel weak
You'll make a mistake
And fly fly ahead
And it's all I can do
When you pull the sheets up overhead
And send me out
To shove snow drifts in my bed
Today she said to me (sneer snore seer soar)
Wanna get even with you more (sneer snore seer soar)
So I tell her she can (so show sea shore)
Even more than before (full mouth sneer roar)
You'll reach for the door
And your arms feel weak
You'll make a mistake
And fly fly ahead
And it's all I can do
When you pull the sheets up overhead
And send me out
To shove snow drifts in my bed
I've finally found
I've finally found
Something to plug up this snorry mouth
-?- see the sight
Posts [puffs?] around my bed
You thrust up and down
Arms around my head
Pressures not mine
Both in spirit and time
Whisper wine
I've finally found
I've finally found
Something to plug up this snorry mouth
So I bet she says to me (so show sneer snore)
Need to see [to my side?] (seal the sown shear stone)
But by the time I made the bed (sneer snore sheer shore)
Till you made up your mind (so so so so)
You'll reach for the door
Arms feel weak
You'll make a mistake
And fly fly ahead
And it's all I can do
When you pull the sheets up overhead
And send me out
To shove snow drifts in my bed
I've finally found
I've finally found
Something to plug up this snorry mouth
I've finally found
I've finally found

"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.

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.
