"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.
(Girl)
I'm yours
Forever I will be
I'm yours
This is what you mean to me
(Brown Boy)
There's a special dedication that I gots to make
To that very special girl who came in my world
You fall from above and you gave me your love(yeah)
You show me hapiness so I gave you my best
And I gotta thank god cause I know I've been bless
To find a girl like you that will always stay true
You we're there by my side when I depended on you
When I give up on life you have me breath again
You help me spread my wings so I could fly again
And for that, I love you like my mother
You always stay close to my heart like my sister
And my brother, I know
I'll never find another quite like you
'cause ever since I met you, was then
No more clouds, no more rains(no more tears to cry)
No more tears to cry and no more pains
I hope you feel the same so we can share my last name
(Girl)
I'm yours
Forever I will be
I'm yours
This is what you mean to me
When you hold me, when you showed me
That I'm your one and only
I'm Yours
Forever you will be
Let me take a second to dedicate the song
To my one and only
Who's been there for me
Through other things that I walk through on a daily
Girl you're my rainbow on my cloudy days
The next thing that took away the pain
If this world afflicted, you wanna feel gifted
Pass me with an angel from the heavens above
You we're to catch me when I fell in love
(Together)
I'm own, find someone to call my own
Who's love me for me and unconditionally
I never thought this could happen to me
I never take for granted who was handed to me
Appreciated and adore you (I adore u)
And through the bad times girl I'm gonna hold you
And through the good that we share
Yeah we could smile together
(Girl)

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”
