Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

Starting from here, let's make a promise
You and me, let's just be honest
We're gonna run, nothing can stop us
Even the night that falls all around us

Soon there will be laughter and voices
Beyond the clouds over the mountains
We'll run away on roads that are empty
Lights from the airfield shining upon you

Nothing can stop this, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us

They're not gonna get us (gonna get us, gonna get us)
They're not gonna get us (gonna get us)
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us (gonna get us)
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Get us
Not gonna get us

We'll run away, keep everything simple
Night will come down, our guardian angel
We rush ahead, the crossroads are empty
Our spirits rise, they're not gonna get us

My love for you, always forever
Just you and me, all else is nothing
Not going back, not going back there
They don't understand
They don't understand us
(Don't understand us)

Not gonna get us (not gonna get us, not gonna get us)
Not gonna get us (not gonna get us, not gonna get us)
Not gonna get us (not gonna get us, not gonna get us)
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

Nothing can stop this, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us (not gonna get us)
They're not gonna get us (gonna get us)
(Not gonna get us)
Not gonna get us (not gonna get us)
Not gonna get us (gonna get us)
(Not gonna get us)

Not gonna get us (gonna get us, gonna get us)
Not gonna get us (gonna get us, gonna get us)

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
