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.
Time and time again I see
A love that seemed strong
Was not meant to be
Broken hearts don't always mend
Left too unsure to try love again
But just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Lovers often seem to say
Hearts can be blind to love gone astray
Always it's the same old song
Someone's been hurt by love that's gone wrong
Just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Just between you
Just between you and me
Words are sometimes hard to find
The silence can be so unkind
You always help me find my way
The love that we share
Grows stronger each day
Just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Seulement entre toi et moi
Means that our love will always be
Just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you
Just between you and me
A love that seemed strong
Was not meant to be
Broken hearts don't always mend
Left too unsure to try love again
But just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Lovers often seem to say
Hearts can be blind to love gone astray
Always it's the same old song
Someone's been hurt by love that's gone wrong
Just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Just between you
Just between you and me
Words are sometimes hard to find
The silence can be so unkind
You always help me find my way
The love that we share
Grows stronger each day
Just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you and me
Always I know our love will be
Seulement entre toi et moi
Means that our love will always be
Just between you and me
Baby, I know our love will be
Just between you
Just between you and me

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
Great song! Not many people seem to know, maybe because it's played by the Canadian band. I don't know any other songs by them, but this one stands out and is on the radio a lot.
Yeah I think it's cos they are Canadian. Shame really.
