You never lied to me not once
It's not your fault that I can't trust
Its in my past, its in my path and I can't go there
Making a mess out of this game
To see it all go up in flames
So tired of being ruthless and reckless
Time to be your only one
To almost be you're way too young
Time to crash into the sun
Time to be your twenty-one
Time to dream that love will last
Time to drive my car too fast
Time to walk before I run
Time to be
Oh, time to be your twenty-one
I don't believe in love and I
I pull it to the wall
I tasted sweetness there to laugh so hard as it falls
And I could push you there if you don't stop me
Push you there if you don't stop me
Please stop me
Time to be your only one
To almost be you're way too young
Time to crash into the sun
Time to be your twenty-one
Time to dream that love will last
Time to drive my car too fast
Time to walk before I run
Time to be
Oh, time to be your twenty-one
Its gut wrenching sometimes
Its life threatening sometimes
Seems like nothing can wash it all away
Time to be your only one
To almost be you're way too young
Time to crash into the sun
Time to be your twenty-one
Time to dream that love will last
Time to drive my car too fast
Time to walk before I run
Time to be your twenty-one
Time to be your only one
To almost be you're way too young
Time to crash into the sun
Time to be your twenty-one
Time to dream that love will last
Time to drive my car too fast
Time to walk before I run
Time to be your twenty-one
It's not your fault that I can't trust
Its in my past, its in my path and I can't go there

To almost be you're way too young

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
