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 one day we can go
Hand in hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go
I'll be waiting at the door
In the future hopefully
We'll be together you and me
Don't you worry baby please
'Cause honestly
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Maybe one day girl I pray
We could float off to space
Hold my hand I'll lead the way
I won't let go or fall a stray
Ain't no if, buts and maybes
Your my baby my lady
Don't you worry baby please
'Cause honestly
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you
I'm dangerously, dangerously, dangerously in love
I love her more than I love myself
and still that ain't enough
If this is a dream I don't want to wake up
We go together like the tub and the shower head above
Not even thousands and thousands of miles
Could amount to my love I'd have countless sky miles
I'd climb up a mountain climb right back down
I'd run across the world and jog back round
Noun and a verb is just a sound
And a word is not profound
Enough to show my urge for her smile
I'd shout on a curb with a loud speaker
'Til the entire town heard how I felt and I'm out
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Maybe one day we can go
Hand in hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go
I'll be waiting at the door
In the future hopefully
Well be together you and me
Don't you worry baby please
'Cause honestly
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you
Hand in hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go
I'll be waiting at the door
In the future hopefully
We'll be together you and me
Don't you worry baby please
'Cause honestly
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Maybe one day girl I pray
We could float off to space
Hold my hand I'll lead the way
I won't let go or fall a stray
Ain't no if, buts and maybes
Your my baby my lady
Don't you worry baby please
'Cause honestly
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you
I'm dangerously, dangerously, dangerously in love
I love her more than I love myself
and still that ain't enough
If this is a dream I don't want to wake up
We go together like the tub and the shower head above
Not even thousands and thousands of miles
Could amount to my love I'd have countless sky miles
I'd climb up a mountain climb right back down
I'd run across the world and jog back round
Noun and a verb is just a sound
And a word is not profound
Enough to show my urge for her smile
I'd shout on a curb with a loud speaker
'Til the entire town heard how I felt and I'm out
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you

Hand in hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go
I'll be waiting at the door

Well be together you and me
Don't you worry baby please
'Cause honestly
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
completely self explanatory, wonderfully beautiful song.
the only line i don't like is "we go together like the tub and the showerhead above," it just comes out so cheesy. the chorus is perfect though.
i think he says that line because hes at the point of love where he doesnt know what else to say, that point where all you can think of is corny lines because you just cant describe the love.
This song is amazing. It's about how he loves this girl so much, and all he wants is to be with her, and he doesn't care who knows it.
