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.
Take it away
I ain't gonna complain
Throw me a choice
I ain't raising my voice for nobody that I know
Cause everybody put on a show
I say what's on your mind
You say what yours is mine
Taking a chance
Wish I knew in advance about you, bout you
Why you do things that you do
If they only knew, hmm
Only do the most when I can feel i'm not in place
Try to bring the best out of you but it's just waste of my time, mhm
Now i'm the crossing the line, but ima' give you some life, mhm
Oh my god, now I feel like i'm falling
Fall apart, not the same when you not
Calling
Wish this was over with
But we think too much 'bout it
Oh my god, have me once but you don't own me
Fall apart, i hope you don't think that you know me
I know just what I want
Don't need you right along
Not taking a risk
I ain't be tryna his
Not makin no deals
Cause you know that I just wanna heal
And you know the way I wanna feel
I want somethin real, hmm
Only do the most when I can feel i'm not in place
Try to bring the best out of you but it's just waste of my time, nah…
Now i'm the crossin the line, but
Imma give you some life, mhm
Oh my god, now I feel like i'm fallin
Fall apart, not the same when you not
Callin
Wish this was over with
But we think too much bout it
Oh my god, have me once but you don't own me
Fall apart, I hope you don't think that you know me
I know just what I want
Don't need you right along
I'm not trying to get some validation
I'm just trying to have a confrontation
It could be about us
I know im doing too much
We just need some type of motivation
But you know that I have some regulations
And it's about you
We can touch base, I wanna be in your space, hmm
Oh my god, now I feel like I'm falling
Fall apart, not the same when you're not
Calling
Wish this was over with
But we think to much bout it
Oh my god, have me once but you don't own me
Fall apart, I hope you don't think that you know me

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
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"
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
It was written intended to be a dialogue, and during live versions sometimes Robin performs it as a duet. But it's clearly a dialogue between a person locked up in his own world and not willing to open up, only seeing the things he wishes to see, and another person encouraging him to open up for new experiences. "Why don't you open your eyes, you might like what you find" would be the response to "Like you said, I guess that maybe I'm blind".
