"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.
Lately
Been thinking bout you baby
Now everything is crazy
Now I confess the freak in me
Wait and see
So come on in
You get right underneath my skin
I've got a little feeling
I know it's everywhere you've been
But I'm still singing
Now that we got it, get on the dance floor
We're gonna rock it, 'cause that's what we're here for
You were a creep and you've been keeping it nasty
But now you want it and you're ready to ask me
You're looking tasty
I think I wanna take a bite
There's something going on tonight
So tell me is it black and white
Wrong or right
Now that you got it, get on the dance floor
We're gonna rock it, 'cause that's what we're here for
So make a move before I do something drastic
And hit me up 'cause baby you look fantastic
I've been waiting
No hesitating
Now that we got it, get on the dance floor
We're gonna rock it, 'cause that's what we're here for
Now that you got it, get on the dancefloor
We're gonna rock it, 'cause that's what we're here for
I've been waiting
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
No hesitating
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
No more faking
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Show it to me now (now now now)
Now that we got it, get on the dance floor
We're gonna rock it, 'cause that's what we're here for
You were a creep and you've been keeping it nasty
But now you want it and you're ready to ask me
Now that you got it, get on the dance floor
We're gonna rock it, 'cause that's what we're here for
So make a move before I do something drastic
And hit me up 'cause baby you look fantastic
Been thinking bout you baby
Now everything is crazy
Now I confess the freak in me
Wait and see
So come on in
You get right underneath my skin
I've got a little feeling

Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
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.
