Baby, it's nothing that you've said
But I know it's not just in my head
You're changing, baby
And you don't think I see
I feel you drifting away
A little bit further every day
Don't tell me, baby
Don't tell me it's just me

I see it in the look that's on your face
Something's not the same inside
You can't keep it from me, no matter how you try

'Cause I know you too well (too well)
For you to ever think
You could tell me a lie, yes
I know you too well
No one knows you like I do
And it's so easy to tell
When you look away
There's something you're hiding
I know you too well, too well

Maybe the timing isn't right
Maybe I see the end in sight
Is it over baby, is it hurting you to stay?
Maybe you don't know what to do
You can't find a way to break the news
Think it over, baby, it hurts me more this way

I'd rather have you tell me to my face
Than tell me everything is all right
What you don't wanna say is there in black and white

'Cause I know you too well (too well)
For you to ever think
You could tell me a lie, yes
I know you too well
No one knows you like I do
And it's so easy to tell
When you look away
There's something you're hiding
I know you too well, too well

I'd rather have you tell me to my face
Than tell me every thing's all right
What you don't wanna say is there in black and white

'Cause I know you too well (too well)
For you to ever think
You could tell me a lie, yes
I know you too well
No one knows you like I do
And it's so easy to tell
When you look away
There's something you're hiding
I know you too well, too well

Know you
'Cause I know you too well (too well)
For you to ever think
You could tell me a lie, yes
I know you too well
No one knows you like I do
And it's so easy to tell
When you look away
There's something you're hiding
I know you too well, too well, too well

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

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.
