She’s been my best friend
She’s been there for me
Always had good times
Nowhere else I’d rather be

One day a friend came over and asked me
Are you completely blind how can’t you see
She keeps it all locked up inside
More than friendship in mind
She loves you more than you know
And won’t just let go
And I pray she’s not headed down a one way street headed the wrong way

So time went by everything was great
We moved in together I saw then no mistakes
One day I came home she was crying on the floor
She needed something from me something more

She kept it all locked up inside
More than friendship in mind
And I did not know what to do
I was so confused
I couldn’t say she’s not headed down a one way street headed the wrong way

So I got scared and ran away
Spent a few days thinking about exactly what I would say
Suddenly I realized how much she meant to me
But when I came home all there was was a note for me

I kept it all locked up inside
More than friendship in mind
And now I guess you’ll never know
So I’ll just let go
Maybe someday you’ll come back and we can start things off headed the right way

Please don’t go

    These is a sad song... Its about falling in love with your best friend.. or having your best friend fall in love with you... and then not acting on your feelings.. but when you do everything will change.. and if you dont act... that person who meant so much to you will fade away.

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.

Cajun Girl
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”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
