Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Everywhere I look
I just see you
On your own
All that it took
Was one call
On his phone
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But you look shit
All alone
So give me another shot
Cause I could be
The dog to your bone, or something
Even after all
All the bad things
That you showed
We should be together
Sharing this love
In my home
I know I'm not alone
You still look shit
All alone
So give me another shot
Cause I could be
Everywhere I look
I just see you
On your own
All that it took
Was one call
On his phone
I just see you
On your own
All that it took
Was one call
On his phone
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But you look shit
All alone
So give me another shot
Cause I could be
The dog to your bone, or something
Even after all
All the bad things
That you showed
We should be together
Sharing this love
In my home
I know I'm not alone
You still look shit
All alone
So give me another shot
Cause I could be
Everywhere I look
I just see you
On your own
All that it took
Was one call
On his phone

Light Up The Sky

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.

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.

"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.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
At first i thought this song was about a guy who lost a girl he loved because he found out she was cheating on her when another guy called her from his phone. but he still wants her regardless because she is alone and remorseful, and not with anybody now, which is why he says, you look like shit all alone, and we should we be together.
but i am open to interpretation!
