It was early every morning before the sun came up
Me and Jay in the water we could never get enough
We'd stay there until the sun went down
And when we got out yeah we'd just hang around
I wish I could go back
I can't stop looking back I don't know why
Everything looks better in my eyes that's old
I just laughed when I got rolled
I just laughed when I got rolled
I'm still looking for
I'm still looking for the good days
The kind that never come
That's the place I met me first love
She's the girl I couldn't stop thinking of
Sometimes I wonder if she looks the same
And if I saw her would she know my name
And I know I can't go back
I can't stop thinking about those days
And all the memories that you can't change are old
I just laughed when I got rolled
I just laughed when I got rolled
I'm still looking for
I'm still loking for the good days
The kind that never come, oh I know they'll never come
I'm still looking for
I'm still looking for a good way
To remember all I've done
I didn't need no television I had so much more
Behind the neighborhood liquor store
I didn't have to watch pay-per-view to learn to fight
Because the neighborhood boys taught me right
And I can't stop thinking about the way everything looked better yesterday
And I'm told I just laughed when I got rolled
I just laughed when I got rolled

Fast Car
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
