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.
Late at night I lie awake in bed
Think about all the things you said
I'm so confused, I don't know what to do
You're on my mind, make this dream come true
I'm wasting time
You could be mine
I can't take this pain any more
Baby, your pleasure, I just gotta know
If I could only spend a moment with you
That meant, we have a chance to kiss tonight
I can't see calling for nobody but you
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
And when you lie beside me
I can't see falling for nobody but you
Now maybe this, I quietly slip away
Or better yet, maybe, I should stay
I'm so confused, I'm running out of time
If I were free, I know that you would be mine
I can't explain, this is insane
He's here, next to me
Oh baby, can't you see?
This is your true lover factor, say yeah
If I could only spend a moment with you
That meant, we have a chance to kiss tonight
I can't see falling for nobody but you
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
And when you lie beside me
I can't see falling for nobody but you
Please take me out of this nightmare
I have a right to be free
I need the heat of your passion
Give me a taste of ecstasy
No one can love me like you do, baby
You got me burning for nobody but you
Nobody else could satisfy me
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
And when you lie beside me
I can't see falling for nobody but you
Think about all the things you said
I'm so confused, I don't know what to do
You're on my mind, make this dream come true
I'm wasting time
You could be mine
I can't take this pain any more
Baby, your pleasure, I just gotta know
If I could only spend a moment with you
That meant, we have a chance to kiss tonight
I can't see calling for nobody but you
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
And when you lie beside me
I can't see falling for nobody but you
Now maybe this, I quietly slip away
Or better yet, maybe, I should stay
I'm so confused, I'm running out of time
If I were free, I know that you would be mine
I can't explain, this is insane
He's here, next to me
Oh baby, can't you see?
This is your true lover factor, say yeah
If I could only spend a moment with you
That meant, we have a chance to kiss tonight
I can't see falling for nobody but you
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
And when you lie beside me
I can't see falling for nobody but you
Please take me out of this nightmare
I have a right to be free
I need the heat of your passion
Give me a taste of ecstasy
No one can love me like you do, baby
You got me burning for nobody but you
Nobody else could satisfy me
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
I feel the rush inside me when I'm with you
And when you lie beside me
I can't see falling for nobody but you

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.
