Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts

Dum Dums

Why do you smile like that, when you look at me?
When you know I can't have you
Why do your glances seem like advances?
Is it just me? Man I think you’re going crazy

It aches in my heart
With my friends I'm always acting so cool
But I would SELL OUT
If only to be closer to you
Cause there's nothing I can do...

I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you
You got to know that you're driving me crazy

Look at me girl, I'm a fool, I make you smile
But I know I can't have you
And I stare at the stars, wishing you weren't so far
From my arms, not alone
But I'm sick ofbeing lonely

I try to love someone else
And everyday I try to be true
It only make me feel worse
Cause all I do is think about you
And there's nothing I can do

I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you
You got to know that you're driving me crazy

I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you
You got to know that you're driving me crazy

Ahhh...

I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you
You got to know that you're driving me...

I can't get you out of my thoughts, or out of my heart,
And I know I'm in love with you baby,
Everything I do, leads me back to you,
Leads me back to you, leads me back to you, leads me back to you

I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you

Leads me back to you... (4x)
You... (2x)

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
