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.
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is,
We were both right,
Ok I'm crazy but maybe,
Quiero Tenerte
Quisiera Odiarte
Quiero besante
Quiero Olvidarte
Both of us, what a sight,
In the morning screaming,
Believing it could be so right,
â??Cause you know that your mine baby, yes you are
Still you're in my dreams,
Not constantly,
Not constantly
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night,
Dreaming of you baby,
Here with a love that feels so right,
I know its hazy but maybe,
Yo Quiero Amarte
Quiero Olvidarte
Debi Sacarte
Pero no puedo
But believe me enough,
To be eternally,
Eternally
Your perfect love
Yo Quiero amarte
Yo Quiero Verte
Debi Sacarte
Quiero Olvidarte
Your perfect love
Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is,
We were both right,
Ok I'm crazy but maybe,
Quiero Tenerte
Quisiera Odiarte
Quiero besante
Quiero Olvidarte
Both of us, what a sight,
In the morning screaming,
Believing it could be so right,
â??Cause you know that your mine baby, yes you are
Still you're in my dreams,
Not constantly,
Not constantly
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night,
Dreaming of you baby,
Here with a love that feels so right,
I know its hazy but maybe,
Yo Quiero Amarte
Quiero Olvidarte
Debi Sacarte
Pero no puedo
But believe me enough,
To be eternally,
Eternally
Your perfect love
Yo Quiero amarte
Yo Quiero Verte
Debi Sacarte
Quiero Olvidarte

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.
Blue

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
