It's like thunder and lightning
You hurt me without trying
A tempest, you was rising
And no I don't like to be this way
And you're Jekyll and Hyde-ing
Are you real or are you lying?
So stop with your crying
I can't handle it now

You tell everyone our love went cold
Going 'round, spreading the word, it's over
If that's how you feel then you should go
Don't come around saying, "I still want you"

One minute you say we're a team
Then you're telling me you can't breathe
Well you should set me free
Baby, if you're over me

Yesterday you said I'm the one
But now you say you're done
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you're over me

There you go, there, I said it
Don't look at me all offended
You played games and it ended
I've got to look out for me

I won't say that it's easy
Oh, I know I hate leaving
But you can't keep deceiving
Does it make you feel good?

You tell everyone our love went cold
Going around, spreading the word, it's over
If that's how you feel then you should go
Don't come around saying, "I still want you"

One minute you say we're a team
Then you're telling me you can't breathe
Well you should set me free
Baby, if you're over me

Yesterday you said I'm the one
But now you say you're done
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you're over me

If you're over me
If you're over me
Stop telling me what I need
Baby, if you're over me

How long can a love remain?
Time never could heal this pain
I thought I believed in fate
Oh, it's so cruel
No, nothing for us would change
Same story, the same mistake
This heart just wants to break

Oh, one minute you say we're a team
Then you're telling me you can't breathe (can't breathe)
Well you should set me free
Baby, if you're over me
Yesterday you said I'm the one
But now you say you're done
Stop telling me what I need (telling me what I need)
Baby, if you're over me

Just go if it's over (just go)
Just go if it's over (just go if it's over)
Just go if it's over
Baby, if you're over me

Just go if it's over (just go)
Just go if it's over (just go if it's over)
Just go if it's over
Baby, if you're over me

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.

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.
