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.
What a shame
What a shame we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed
Butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places
Deep in my heart
Where once was blazing light now
There's a tiny spark
Oh glory
Come and find me
Oh glory
Come and find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy’s song
I’ll be lost until
You find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that’s already been won
I’ll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh glory
(Here)
What a mess
What a mystery we've made
Of love and other simple things
Learning to forgive
Even when it wasn't a mistake
I question every human
Who won't look in my eyes
Scars left on my heart formed
Patterns in my mind.
Oh glory, you will find me...
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy’s song
I’ll be lost until
You find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that’s already been won
I’ll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh glory
Like the moon
We borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
So if you let me I will catch fire
To let your glory and mercy shine
What a shame we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed
Butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places
Deep in my heart
Where once was blazing light now
There's a tiny spark
Oh glory
Come and find me
Oh glory
Come and find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy’s song
I’ll be lost until
You find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that’s already been won
I’ll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh glory
(Here)
What a mess
What a mystery we've made
Of love and other simple things
Learning to forgive
Even when it wasn't a mistake
I question every human
Who won't look in my eyes
Scars left on my heart formed
Patterns in my mind.
Oh glory, you will find me...
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy’s song
I’ll be lost until
You find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that’s already been won
I’ll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh glory
Like the moon
We borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
So if you let me I will catch fire
To let your glory and mercy shine

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Fast Car

"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.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I can't find the lyrics on paramore.net. Could you please send me the link? :)
