So I say every day,
So I say every hours time is passing by.
So I say every moment,
So I say every seccond I got you by my side.

And turned everything will change,
And nothing we have stays the same.
In a flash in a blink of an eye;
It all can change over night.

Say I see you again,
Say I see you just once in my lifetime.
Say I see you to understand what it is
To roll back the hands of time.
'Cuz time has never been a friend,
And you know I will fight till the end.

In a flash in a blink of an eye it all can change over night.
And I'm running as hours
Running as days by,
Running is just fine,
Time goes faster faster faster (faster x20)
I'll be running for hours,
Running for cover,
Running forever.

In a flash in a blink of an eye,
In a seccond it passes you by.
In a flash in a blink of an eye,
It all can change over night.

    To me teh song is about having then losing the one you love. The first stanza she's still with him, "I got you by my side."

    However, something happens like a fight and they break up in the 2nd stanza.

    But in the 3rd stanza he isn't over her, even if he may have been mad. He wants to take it back and have what they had, "Say I see you to understand what it is to roll back the hands of time."

    In the 4th stanza he's hoping that things could start again as quickly as they ended, and now he's fighting against time to get her back.

    The 5th stanza leaves it rather open. It could mean that they were able to make it and be together again. However, perhaps what changed so quickly was his hope that they could be together, perhaps she's with someone else or rejects him. The ending is open to your interpretation I feel.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

American Town
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.
