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.
Can you tell me I want to believe
That you want to be with me forever
I need to know that you won't ever leave
And you won't run away from me never
I've been waiting for a long time
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
Everything's all right
The way that you believe in me
It takes me through the night
I fall besides you softly singing
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
In the morning, I see what you mean
Cause I don't want to make it without you
You've got me dreaming
And after you leave, when you're gone
I'm still thinking about you
I've been waiting for a long time
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
I think everything's all right
The way that you believe in me
And it takes me through the night
I fall beside you softly singing
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
If you say you will be mine
I think it's time
I like to make it with my baby every night
Everything's all right
Every morning when I up
I fall into your eyes
I want to go
I believe we're gonna make it
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
If you're alone tonight
Believe me
I've been waiting for you
Everything's all right
That you want to be with me forever
I need to know that you won't ever leave
And you won't run away from me never
I've been waiting for a long time
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
Everything's all right
The way that you believe in me
It takes me through the night
I fall besides you softly singing
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
In the morning, I see what you mean
Cause I don't want to make it without you
You've got me dreaming
And after you leave, when you're gone
I'm still thinking about you
I've been waiting for a long time
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
I think everything's all right
The way that you believe in me
And it takes me through the night
I fall beside you softly singing
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
If you say you will be mine
I think it's time
I like to make it with my baby every night
Everything's all right
Every morning when I up
I fall into your eyes
I want to go
I believe we're gonna make it
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
If you're alone tonight
Believe me
I've been waiting for you
Everything's all right

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.
