Honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are

Notes in my drawers, songs in my pockets,
Fragments of letters that you sent,
Leftover phone calls, cologne in the bath
I still have that bottle of Rosé

Staring at your photograph, tryin’ to take it down
There’s still a stirring in my heart

And honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are

I’ve never been to half of these places
But your postcard collection makes me crave
A little space, a little ways out of the city to the grace of another land, another tongue, another time

Staring at your photograph, I can’t take it down
There’s still a fire in me yet

Honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are

Oh honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are

Oh honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are

Honey I just can’t
You better believe yeah

    A song about getting out there and doing everything you've wanted to experience. I love and relate to this song. I think everyone has at least one song in their pocket :)

    Negative.

    I think this song is about loving someone and being scared to say it or them just not knowing.

    Honey I just can't get around it anymore You make me feel like home is where you are And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are

    She can't deny anymore that he is where her heart is. Home is with him. I think it's a beautiful song about all the memories they have shared and all the more that she wants to share with him.

    I believe the songs about finally coming clean about everything. She finally recognizes that she can't just hide behind her feelings anymore. She was thinking about just not saying her true feelings, but then -

    "Staring at your photograph, I can't take it down There's still a fire in me yet,"

    makes me think that she's not ready to throw in the towel just yet. It's a beautiful song.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
