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.
I see a sense of wonder
Deep inside your eyes
As we're sparkling and twirling
In the twilight
And after three long years,
I think that we both need this
So we seal the deal
In the parking lot with a kiss
And in case you
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful
As you end my day
And you sweetly retire
As stars chase you away
I'd collapse to the grass,
With your notes ringing in my head
Let the rain fill my mouth,
And in a couple hours I'll be dead
But all the while my lips
Are whistling our tune
But the beauty lies in how
You will revive me soon
And in case you, and in case you
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful
As you end my day
And you sweetly retire
As the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful
As you end my day
And you sweetly retire
As the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a hurricane to me
Your violence is beautiful,
And your center sweet
Now tell me this,
Do you know how we'd meet?
And in case you were wondering,
You are everything to me (to me)
Deep inside your eyes
As we're sparkling and twirling
In the twilight
And after three long years,
I think that we both need this
So we seal the deal
In the parking lot with a kiss
And in case you
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful
As you end my day
And you sweetly retire
As stars chase you away
I'd collapse to the grass,
With your notes ringing in my head
Let the rain fill my mouth,
And in a couple hours I'll be dead
But all the while my lips
Are whistling our tune
But the beauty lies in how
You will revive me soon
And in case you, and in case you
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful
As you end my day
And you sweetly retire
As the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful
As you end my day
And you sweetly retire
As the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering,
You are like a hurricane to me
Your violence is beautiful,
And your center sweet
Now tell me this,
Do you know how we'd meet?
And in case you were wondering,
You are everything to me (to me)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
chelsea joye i love you.
