its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Sew this up with threads of reason and regret
So I will not forget, I will not forget
How this felt one year six months ago I know
I cannot forget, I cannot forget
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there a beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure
Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there a beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
So many nights
Legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes
Try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through
Is memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there a beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
Falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
So I will not forget, I will not forget
How this felt one year six months ago I know
I cannot forget, I cannot forget
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there a beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure
Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there a beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
So many nights
Legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes
Try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through
Is memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there a beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
Falling into memories of you
And things we used to do

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

"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.

@[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.
This song to me is about an ended relationship. According to a study it takes the avarage of 18 months to get over a breakup, from this the title "One years, six months" (that are 18 months). The song has a point of view after actually 18 months and the person has not been able to fully get over the relationship\'s end and still thinking about the past.
