"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.
最後のキスはタバコの flavor がした
ニガくてせつない香り
明日の今頃には
あなたはどこにいるんだろう
誰を想ってるんだろう
You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌うたえるまで
立ち止まる時間が 動き出そうとしてる
忘れたくないことばかり
明日の今頃には
わたしはきっと泣いてる
あなたを想ってるんだろう
Yeah, you will always be inside my heart
いつもあなただけの場所があるから
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌うたえるまで
You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
まだ悲しい love song, yeah
Now and forever
ニガくてせつない香り
明日の今頃には
あなたはどこにいるんだろう
誰を想ってるんだろう
You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌うたえるまで
立ち止まる時間が 動き出そうとしてる
忘れたくないことばかり
明日の今頃には
わたしはきっと泣いてる
あなたを想ってるんだろう
Yeah, you will always be inside my heart
いつもあなただけの場所があるから
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌うたえるまで
You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
まだ悲しい love song, yeah
Now and forever

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.

I've gotta agree with you there. I love this song. ^_^
