"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.
Chorus
Tears are falling from my eyes,
And I can't find the reasons why.
Tears are falling from my eyes,
My eyes, tears are falling.
Tears are falling from my eyes,
And I can't find the reasons why.
Tears are falling from my eyes, my eyes, my eyes.
I ask myself how could this be that you walked out on me?
Now here I am,
Alone again, 'cause you abandoned me.
I'll never show it.
I smile all day to try to hide the pain.
Seems like I'm happy and that I wouldn't have it any other way.
Chorus
And what about the love we shared
And all the memories?
With innocence,
I thought you'd love me for eternity.
I should've seen it,
I can't believe you played me with your selfish game.
My heart is healin' so now
You better know I won't be fooled again.
Chorus
En segiendote, este dolor nunca imagine.
Why lastimandome, recuerdos que nunca olvidare.
Sueno en tus brazos why en despertar,
Empiezo a llorar.
Pero voy descubriendo que tengo fuerzo en mi why soy mejor sin ti.
Tears are falling from my eyes,
And I can't find the reasons why.
Tears are falling from my eyes,
My eyes, tears are falling.
Tears are falling from my eyes,
And I can't find the reasons why.
Tears are falling from my eyes, my eyes, my eyes.
I ask myself how could this be that you walked out on me?
Now here I am,
Alone again, 'cause you abandoned me.
I'll never show it.
I smile all day to try to hide the pain.
Seems like I'm happy and that I wouldn't have it any other way.
Chorus
And what about the love we shared
And all the memories?
With innocence,
I thought you'd love me for eternity.
I should've seen it,
I can't believe you played me with your selfish game.
My heart is healin' so now
You better know I won't be fooled again.
Chorus
En segiendote, este dolor nunca imagine.
Why lastimandome, recuerdos que nunca olvidare.
Sueno en tus brazos why en despertar,
Empiezo a llorar.
Pero voy descubriendo que tengo fuerzo en mi why soy mejor sin ti.

Holiday

@[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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this a good song and of course about cheating. Got her lyricxs from some other lyric site and thot i'd post it here...byez!
