I feel so unsure,
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies, there's something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad goodbyes

Im never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
[You know Im aint a fool, girl]

I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So, I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Time can never mend
Ooh.
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find..

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
[You know I aint a fool, girl]

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Uh, Slow down.
You know you're moving too fast,
you know that I dont dance, but
you insist to take my hands.
And to the beat, that move our feet,
and everyone is watching me
and I dont dance no more.

And I aint leavin' my apartment
'till its after evening.
Bars are closing down, and
every model in the pool hall is drinking.

I turn the jukebox on.
To play my favorite song.
Where we sing along.

I dont dance, no.

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Baby, it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things
We'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay!

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
[You know I aint a fool, girl]

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you.

And now that you're gone.
And now that you're gone.
And now that you're gone.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
