Boy in love, I wish that I was Meaulnes
Look above and watch your window glow
Feed the past even though I'm grown
Love can last, it never truly goes

So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown
So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown

My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne

Through the years
We lost each other's souls
Through the years
So much to be resolved

So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown
So I sit and I wait, still I can't navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown

My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne, my Yvonne
My Yvonne

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
