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.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
See I'm sick of all these
No game having
Gold chain wearing
Last year clothes wearing niggaz
That keep sweating me
Cause their bitch want me
It ain't my fault nigga
You need to stop calling my house
Weain't got nothing to be talking about
It might be tough to swallow but that's how it be
Cause nigga your bitch chose me
Fellas
The girl is mine, can't you see
Know the game cause your bitch chose me
Somebody please tell me how
How is it everybody knew the
The rules to how we get down
Now he wanna act a fool now
I'm the first to say
She gotta (what?) man, gotta leave her long gone, run away
But still she wants her way
It ain't my fault, it ain't my fault
She chose me
You need to stop calling my house
He ain't got nothing to be talking about
It might be tough to swallow but that's how it be
Cause nigga your bitch chose me
Fellas
The girl is mine, can't you see
Know the game cause your bitch chose me
The girl is mine
Mad dude, but your attitude needs to halt
Cause ooh it ain't my fault
It might be tough to swallow, that's how it be
And you know the game, your bitch chose me
The girl is mine, can't you see
Know the game cause your bitch chose me
Many girls go around
Actin' like they got nobody
You better find one that you know stays down
One who's eyes ain't wandering
If her eyes fall on me
Then I know she's coming
Better find one who wants to be with you, oh
Girl it's really too bad for you
Said he's not enough for you
Baby you should let him know
Baby you wanna try me
J-E maybe we'll be
Together for eternity
Reside till I be happy, till I be happy (?)
Ja's flow so hot, niggaz don't wanna be near me when the bomb drops and I
Knew niggaz would fear me from the time I spit on wax
Niggaz was leery like who the fuck is this cat?
Ja baby, understand that, Rule one, second to none
When y'all bitches start strutting I hit it and run
Cause I'm destined to cum on your tongue while we sexing
Like lubricant ruff ryde with the X-man
We hollering, it could all be this simple
Know what? I'm gonna kiss you, cause daddy gonna miss ya
Now that's love when a nigga not wanna pimp on a hoe
But sometimes this love shit is claustrophob
And I love thy, love to send you hoes the money
Love bitches with attitude, a hundred miles of running
New York thugs, and my niggaz is pimps too
And your bitch chose me before they chose you nigga
You need to stop calling my house
Weain't got nothing to be talking about
It might be tough to swallow but that's how it be
Cause nigga your bitch chose me
Fellas
You need to stop calling my house
Weain't got nothing to be talking about
It might be tough to swallow but that's how it be
Cause nigga your bitch chose me
Fellas
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
We're here to make y'all rock
We're here to make y'all rock
We're here to make y'all rock
Shit it's nothing

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
