Looking through my window,
I can see a thin glow,
I don't get depressed though,
I'm casting lazy shadows,
It's all I need to stop me thinking,

Every single day though,
I throw myself away though,
It's all I need to stop me thinking,

Get my head-straight, get my head-straight, get it straight,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,
You take it all back, take it back, take your money back,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,
All I need's to stop me thinking,

Looking through this window,
I need a change of view though,
Looking through last year though,
But all I saw was you, though,
You're all I need to stop me thinking,

Get my head-straight, get my head-straight, get it straight,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,
You take it all back, take it back, take your money back,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,

All I wanted was to chicken out,
And simmer down,
You've got your head gear on again,
And you feel like you've been left out,

Don't you ever, don't you, don't you ever, don't you,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't you ever, don't you,

I've gotta get my head-straight, get my head-straight, get it straight,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't you never, don't, let go,
And that is all right,
Get my head-straight, get my head-straight, get my head,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,
And that is all right,
Get my head-straight, get my head-straight, get my head,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,
And that is all right,
You take it all back, take it back, take your money back,
Don't you ever, don't you, don't, don't you ever let go,

All it need's to stop me thinking.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
