L’âge d’aimer ça n’a pas d’âge
Quinze ans, quarante ou davantage
Tant que le coeur bat dans sa cage
On a l’âge d’aimer

C’est l’âge des années frivoles
Où soudain la raison s’affole
Lorsque le corps prend la parole
On a l’âge d’aimer

Si ta couleur n’est pas la mienne
Si mon âge est distant du tien
On s’aimera quoi qu’il advienne
Nous avons l’âge de nos veines
Et l’amour est notre destin

Qui sait où commence, où s’arrête
L’âge puéril, l’âge un peu bête
Gravé dans nos coeurs et nos têtes ?
L’âge d’aimer
L’âge d’aimer

Lorsqu’oubliant ses différences
Le corps veut vivre ses violences
La peau souffrant ses impatiences
On a l’âge d’aimer

À l’âge où le désir nous rive
Quand la raison perd sa dérive
Au cri d’un « qui m’aime me suive »
On a l’âge d’aimer

Vois notre sol devient nuage
On a l’enfance au fond des yeux
Quand on aime, on a le même âge
Le coeur fomente des orages
Et l’amour joue avec le feu

Quinze ans, quarante ou davantage
De voyage en vagabondage
Quand je devrai tournant la page
Émigrer de l’âge d’aimer

Je n’aurai plus aucun courage
Je serai plus vieux que le temps
Aussi c’est désespérément
Qu’avec toi je m’agrippe à l’âge

Mon amour à l’âge d’aimer
A l'âge d'aimer

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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.
