Tell me why am I feeling this way?
I didn't think and I'm paying for it now
Well I knew this was coming someday
But I didn't think this would be how
Tell me why am I feeling like this?
Soon enough, I'll be gone, and I'll say
That I'm sorry I gave you that kiss
Cause I knew I would take it away
So as you struggle I can't hold your hand
But when you wonder where I am
And on new year's eve when you kiss someone new
There's nothing much more I can say to you
Because everything's been said before
But if you want I'll tell you some more more more
Cause I ain't going anywhere soon
No matter what you say or do
I'll get back on that bus and I'll ride back home and be blue
Yeah I ain't going anywhere soon
I've followed the sun, so I can follow the moon
And I know I'll come back cause I ain't going anywhere soon
I can't tell you the things I should say
I've already done damage enough
I must decide under skies cold and grey
Am I coming back or calling the bluff?
So just tell me which one I hate more
To have you mad here or glad far away?
And tell me why did I sprint for the door
And assume the worst for every word you'd say?
Oh I've told you what you mean to me, but that's all so much talk
I've listened as you told me things and watched you like a hawk
The only thing that counts right now is what will happen next
And I can say a million things but every single one is out of context
So tell me why couldn't I take it slow?
I spit out all those words I knew I'd regret
I told myself I could just get up and go
But I haven't gone anywhere yet
I can drive I can drive I can drive
But I can't turn the radio on
Cause I see 43-35
And I still ain't too sure if you're gone
So as I struggle you can't hold my hand
But take my word for it, I understand
Mildew of the summer and the deepening snow
Are both alike in the routine I know
Cause I ain't going anywhere soon
I don't know what it is about you
But I know I'll be back and I know I won't know what to do
No I ain't going anywhere soon
I'll just sit here in my empty room
In the ranch that I built for you mumbling say it ain't true
So say it ain't true
No I ain't going anywhere soon....

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
