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.
How i miss you
How i miss you
How i miss you
I should never call
How i hope that you still miss me
Did I lose you?
Did I lose you?
Did I lose you?
Somewhere down the line
Hide & seeks alright if i find
Do you miss me
Like i miss you
If you miss me,
Never go away
Hopefully, you'll come stay someday
If you're leaving,
come back soon
Thats not easy to say
I'll wait here,
dream of you
all alone as i ache
How i miss you
How i miss you
I should never call
How i hope that you still miss me
Did I lose you?
Did I lose you?
Did I lose you?
Somewhere down the line
Hide & seeks alright if i find
Do you miss me
Like i miss you
If you miss me,
Never go away
Hopefully, you'll come stay someday
If you're leaving,
come back soon
Thats not easy to say
I'll wait here,
dream of you
all alone as i ache

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

“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.
I agree with Timm I love this song.. the first time i heard it i was looking out my window and it was raining lightly.. the strangest thing happed the song picked up and the Rain Got heavier. I realised it wasnt strange it was Beautiful. Ill never forget that. But the Song mEaning. I agree with "if only". .. this is definetly One of my favorite foo fighters songs
I agree. I can completely relate, even after I’ve moved on and found someone else. I think that most everybody has that one person in there past they would think about when they hear this song. That first person you really gave your heat to, but got it back broken. How calling her only makes it worse and how you hope she misses you as much as you miss her and trying to figure out how it went wrong. The song also makes me glad I now have someone to turn to that really loves me.
aww... this song is so sweet and simple.
wow, just how im feeling
soooo sweet.. i can totally relate to this... i think at one point, everone can. when they are missing that one person that they cant help but think about all the time. great stuff...
this song just makes me think of holding on to something, even though you know you.ve lost it..."did i lose you?"...it.s obvious but you can.t admit to yourself...i can relate...being left alone is rough.
i love the way this song just builds up and up from the soft murmurs of a broken herat, to a loud release, letting all the tension out and declaring the hurt that he feels. very easy to relate to this feeling, im sure everyone experiences it now and then.
At the exact moment I type this, I'm missing someone so much it hurts and its a first for me so I was stunned when I realised how bad it was, and I found this song not 5 mins ago! Which is a great coincedence and a welcome one!! Brilliant song!! Love it!!!
it hurts. it sucks. foo comes to the rescue. the end! :)
this is the song i think of whenever lose my keys :-(
