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.
See everybody needs someone by their side
And I can't go on without you another night
Since companionship's been gone
My life has been so slow
Without you, you
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I love you
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me can change the world someday
Then believe me when I say
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided
So what do you think
Let's get back together (let's get back together)
There's nothing it could hurt
It could only get better
Think of what it last felt like
When you and I done turned our nights into forever, see
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I love you
And it don't take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me can change the world someday
Then believe me when I say
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided
Never dreamed I'd be so happy
And sure of myself
Baby, life without you is so dark
(so dark, so dark)
Now I know it'll never be me loving someone else
It's precious love
You're my shining star
I remember when we first fell in love
I was too young to know what it was
I couldn't address what made me melt
But quick to tell you how it felt
That life is so real
And it still is
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
Just think of the things we planned to do - me and you
I still love you
I'm changing the face of the new world we once knew
I still love you
So long as the sun is shine the oceans are blue
I still love you...
And I can't go on without you another night
Since companionship's been gone
My life has been so slow
Without you, you
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I love you
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me can change the world someday
Then believe me when I say
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided
So what do you think
Let's get back together (let's get back together)
There's nothing it could hurt
It could only get better
Think of what it last felt like
When you and I done turned our nights into forever, see
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I love you
And it don't take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me can change the world someday
Then believe me when I say
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided
Never dreamed I'd be so happy
And sure of myself
Baby, life without you is so dark
(so dark, so dark)
Now I know it'll never be me loving someone else
It's precious love
You're my shining star
I remember when we first fell in love
I was too young to know what it was
I couldn't address what made me melt
But quick to tell you how it felt
That life is so real
And it still is
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
Just think of the things we planned to do - me and you
I still love you
I'm changing the face of the new world we once knew
I still love you
So long as the sun is shine the oceans are blue
I still love you...

"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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
