The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
All I want to do is play
See the city every day
Pretty party nation
Tell me that you think I'm good
Happy that I make you glad
Cause I don't want to think I'm bad, Gramma
I don't want to think I'm bad
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Don't you know, you don't need a thing?
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Trouble's what feels good to me
Crazy as since I was three
Now I'm out to get you
But I been better lately, Ma
And I'm in love with everyone
And I don't want to think I'm wrong
Just for feeling pretty
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me

Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma
I want to be the whole world's girl
I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma
Tell me do you think that's wrong?
Don't cry, honey, crazy girl
Don't you know you are the world?
Every time you feel unsure
Try remember what you are
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me

"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”

@[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.
She said in an interview that she wrote this song after an actual conversation with her Grandmother. As her songs are autobiographical, the lyrics give a good picture about how the conversation went.
She wants to have a great life, but she is unsure about pursuing what she really wants in life.
I want to be the whole world's girl, gramma Tell me do you think that's wrong?
Confusion is really present in this song, she's not sure if it's okay to think that she is pretty. Her grandmother reassures her.
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man, waiting for me
And leaves the lights on for her, also showing the caring love she was surrounded with.
