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.
Maybe you've been pouring
Everything into this from a state of bliss
It turns to agony
You can't predict this when it comes to it
You can't hide from me
But don't you surrender anything
Don't you know that
That patience is a virtue (yes, it is)
And life is a waiting game
Don't you know that
Peace must be nurtured
And all the money in the world can buy you nothing
Let me tell you that
All these things happen
All these things happen for a reason
(Don't you go) don't you go and throw it all away
(Get yours) get yours when the seasons change
You're gonna change
Hurts me to see you feel this way
But it won't be always
Don't you know everything got to change
Oh-oh
Feel like all your hope is gone (feels like)
You can't carry on
But there's nothing
You don't have to pretend with me
Don't you know that
That patience is a virtue (yes, it is)
And life is a waiting game
Don't you know that
Peace must be nurtured
And all the money in the world can buy you nothing
Let me tell you that
All these things happen
All these things happen for a reason
(Don't you go) so don't you go and throw it all away
(Get yours) get yours when the seasons change
Yeah
Oh, when the seasons change
Yeah
Everything into this from a state of bliss
It turns to agony
You can't predict this when it comes to it
You can't hide from me
But don't you surrender anything
Don't you know that
That patience is a virtue (yes, it is)
And life is a waiting game
Don't you know that
Peace must be nurtured
And all the money in the world can buy you nothing
Let me tell you that
All these things happen
All these things happen for a reason
(Don't you go) don't you go and throw it all away
(Get yours) get yours when the seasons change
You're gonna change
Hurts me to see you feel this way
But it won't be always
Don't you know everything got to change
Oh-oh
Feel like all your hope is gone (feels like)
You can't carry on
But there's nothing
You don't have to pretend with me
Don't you know that
That patience is a virtue (yes, it is)
And life is a waiting game
Don't you know that
Peace must be nurtured
And all the money in the world can buy you nothing
Let me tell you that
All these things happen
All these things happen for a reason
(Don't you go) so don't you go and throw it all away
(Get yours) get yours when the seasons change
Yeah
Oh, when the seasons change
Yeah

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.

Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
also an awesome song. it was in girlfriends once before.
