Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I’ve been behind on the events of the past 7 days
I’ve been sleeping in my bed
And missing you like sometimes crazy girls do
I’ve been hanging like a child onto this photograph of us
It was taken on a bus across town the last time I saw you
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, down
Well I can’t get my self together I’m soaking in the pain
It’s ridiculous how easy it is to go astray
When my focus ain’t right
Sometimes crazy’s all right
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, oh
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right
Well I never thought I’d say I was in love with you again
It’s funny how my life has come around to this
And I’m crazy for you
I do like crazy girls do
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right, crazy’s all right
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes crazy’s all right
I’ve been sleeping in my bed
And missing you like sometimes crazy girls do
I’ve been hanging like a child onto this photograph of us
It was taken on a bus across town the last time I saw you
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, down
Well I can’t get my self together I’m soaking in the pain
It’s ridiculous how easy it is to go astray
When my focus ain’t right
Sometimes crazy’s all right
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, oh
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right
Well I never thought I’d say I was in love with you again
It’s funny how my life has come around to this
And I’m crazy for you
I do like crazy girls do
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right, crazy’s all right
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes crazy’s all right

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Battle Royale

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

"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.
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 made a One Tree Hill music video to this song featuring Lucas and Haley even though they are not a couple on the show. When I was putting the clips together, I felt like the girl in the song was hurt by her ex boyfriend/lover, maybe he cheated on her. She says she never thought she'd fall in love with him again. But despite what he's done, she is still in love with him. I think she left him for awhile which is why she tells him to wait till she gets home. She loves him so much that she is willing to give him another chance. And the whole "crazy" thing comes from how girls change their minds back and forth. One minute you can't stand him and the next you want him back.
