Caller 10 with the loudest cry
for missing an act of fate you and I
end up where we're not supposed to
We all have a match
if we can make the connection
So when your time comes
make sure you're paying attention to it

She's sitting on the other side
He sees her as he's walking by
Oh no there's a chair ahead
and he falls down, his face is red
And she laughs and goes back to work
And for him it's no surprise
Oh no she lost her chance
because she didn't catch his eyes

Caller 10 with the loudest cry
for missing an act of fate you and I
end up where we're not supposed to
We all have a match
if we can make the connection
So when your time comes
make sure you're paying attention to it

You gotta keep your eyes so open wide
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around

He works and she goes to class
So there's no time to get attached
Both looking our their windows
He says, "Someday I'll find you"
And the years go flying by
One day they park side by side
They have black ? both the same
Down to ?

Caller 10 with the loudest cry
for missing an act of fate you and I
end up where we're not supposed to
We all have a match
if we can make the connection
You've gotta pay attention
You've got to pay attention to it

You gotta keep your eyes so open wide (wide)
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around

He walks away
She walks away
Outside by the deli, please take a number (he walks away)
This represents them both with 37s
Her cell phone rings and he says, "hey, (she walks away)
I've had that song in my head all day"
She runs to the front door
She looks so familiar (he walks away)
She scared not to answer, her boyfriend that hits her
Now back to her home life, it doesn't deserve her (she walks away)
She should have payed attention

Maybe fate can only take you so far

Keep your eyes so open wide (wide)
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around

Keep your eyes so open wide (wide)
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
every which way you go

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
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"

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
