The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Hold my finger
Fly what you never know
I will not bring you down I swear
Don't wanna fuck right now I'm chillin with ya
Just wanna lie here and make love spiritually
All alone with you
Your eyes I'm lookin through
When I wake up I promise I'll be
With you girl
Then I'll give you all of my attention
Damn right then I'll have my morning erection
I'll give you some lovin
Sometimes I like to do whatever you're into
Feeling this perfect moment
I'm so gone now that
I can't feel life
I'm so ashamed at myself to do this to you
It's all I'm good for now, chick please forgive me
And it ain't my stoner lovin finger hold
Goodbye to the negative vibes
Can we not just chill go to sleep with my arms around you
But then you scream and you're right I should be there for you
So now I try, check my pulse to make sure I'm alive
Sorry chick I can't get in
That mood now
Listen chick I can hardly function
My mind says chill and I don't need that affection
Sorry but I don't want to
Arrrrrgggghhhh
As I walk Woke up too late again
I think too hard
Cannot grip
Just what went wrong
So I light up
And I'll float away again
Start to lose this trap she kept me in
As I fly I try to knock out all of these negative vibes
I'm so bored as I float by
What is my destiny am I somewhere that I shouldn't be
I feel alone
But when I'm with you it's alright
But when I'm without you I'm so
And I feel so high
Feel close to you
You wont ever fly
But you want puppy lovin and 5 orgasms 'til the night is through
But it wont happen
Cos I don't like this way
Am I not as you imagine me
What you get is, what you see
OK it's up now we fuck I'll go put on a jonny
Open the pack then it's back flopping before me
Mind starts to hurt, you scream and talk to me like dirt
I wish you could know exactly
What I mean
I'm so fucked right now I'd not last anyway
You'd think I suck and never see me again
Just chill out chick, chill out see what I see
Fly what you never know
I will not bring you down I swear
Don't wanna fuck right now I'm chillin with ya
Just wanna lie here and make love spiritually
All alone with you
Your eyes I'm lookin through
When I wake up I promise I'll be
With you girl
Then I'll give you all of my attention
Damn right then I'll have my morning erection
I'll give you some lovin
Sometimes I like to do whatever you're into
Feeling this perfect moment
I'm so gone now that
I can't feel life
I'm so ashamed at myself to do this to you
It's all I'm good for now, chick please forgive me
And it ain't my stoner lovin finger hold
Goodbye to the negative vibes
Can we not just chill go to sleep with my arms around you
But then you scream and you're right I should be there for you
So now I try, check my pulse to make sure I'm alive
Sorry chick I can't get in

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Excellent song and brilliant lyrics. By my understanding, it's about when a girl wants to have sex sometimes but her guy is either too stoned or chilled out so it's too much effort for him. So he would rather just lie there and have a cuddle instead. I know what they mean!
