"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.
Crash here we go you can face it or erase it
I do believe we can take it
And make it a wonderful love
You can taste it embrace it lovely
So sweet to see look after me social with company
Just you and me fall to the ground
You should wake up and turn up your favorite song
Let it move you
Just walk through breakfast and grace
I should unwind its bed time lovely so sweet
To see look after me social with company
Just you and me leaves on the ground
Then a snow storm my back yard is covered in white
Can i hold out its cold out
Lost in the shade
you've been waiting for sunshine lovely so sweet
To see look after me social with company just you and me
I do believe we can take it
And make it a wonderful love
You can taste it embrace it lovely
So sweet to see look after me social with company
Just you and me fall to the ground
You should wake up and turn up your favorite song
Let it move you
Just walk through breakfast and grace
I should unwind its bed time lovely so sweet
To see look after me social with company
Just you and me leaves on the ground
Then a snow storm my back yard is covered in white
Can i hold out its cold out
Lost in the shade
you've been waiting for sunshine lovely so sweet
To see look after me social with company just you and me

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.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
To me its about shaping a relationship into what you want it to be and this works best if both people want the same things.Realy what i think they wrote this song for is to let people know that when you start a relationship that it will only be as good as you make it and there is know one else to blame if it goes bad because of not enough comunication. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP WITH THE LADYS CREEPER!!!

Sweet song. The guy is so in love with the girl, and not for any extraordinary supernatural qualities. Just her everydayness. Seems like it's someone who really he really gets along well with.
Possibly my favorite song of all time.
