"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.
I see your face in such a lonely place but you're a million miles away.
I've got your photograph and you've got mine
We said wed meet again someday.
I won't forget you and I won't let you fade away.
Ill run beside you. I may decide to stay.
What place and forces in the universe are responsible for this?
I was rejected, when we connected, and you sealed it with your kiss.
I won't defy you. I'll be right by you all the way.
Sometimes it's hard to find the words, the words to say.
I miss you, I miss you more and more each day.
I miss you, I miss you more than I can say.
I see your face in such a lonely place but you're a million miles away.
I've got you photograph and you've got mine
We said wed meet again someday.
I won't forget you and I won't let you fade away.
Ill run beside you. I may decide to stay. Okay.
Our friends think were crazy, we live so far away
but baby don't you listen don't you listen to what they say
I miss you, I miss you more and more each day.
I miss you, I miss you more than I can say.
I miss you, I miss you more and more each day.
I miss you, I miss you more than I can say. Okay
I've got your photograph and you've got mine
We said wed meet again someday.
I won't forget you and I won't let you fade away.
Ill run beside you. I may decide to stay.

I miss you, I miss you more than I can say. Okay

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
