I will take you swimming follow me.
We'll make time where there is none, for the sea.

I will keep on living incomplete,
As long as I still wake up from my dreams.
We'll never see the end of our own street,
If we don’t make time where there is none, move your feet!

I’ll build you a boat out of lightning and fill it with pearls,
We’ll float to the worlds end, touch it, return
Just to prove the impossible possible;
Sure you’ll be there where our time comes.

You feel the same thing we’re waiting and waiting,
And stop, I feel faint from accepting this terrible loss,
The time, you thought, you’d saved is just gone;
We’ll make time where there is none!

Build you a boat with fake diamonds and fill it with stars,
Hear the base drums so far off. Be there tomorrow,
Get some rest all that’s left, a few hundred miles
We’ll make time where there is none!

You feel the same thing we’re waiting and waiting,
And stop, I feel faint from accepting this terrible loss,
The time, you thought, you’d saved is just gone;
We’ll make time where there is none!

You feel the same thing we’re waiting and waiting,
And stop, I feel faint from accepting this terrible loss,
The time, you thought, you’d saved is just gone;
We’ll make time where there is none!

    I always see the Muppets singing this song... one of their big productions with everyone on stage. It seems appropriate, the message of doing what you can NOW being worth infinitely more than the time where there is none!

    (Close your eyes, listen to this, and picture Muppets singing and dancing... it should make you smile)

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.

Amazing
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.
