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'll quote a clever line like hope,
I'll take the final words you wrote,
To make them feel like bliss,
As always as I'll take the praise,
I have a way with making things,
Scripted like a song that makes you sting,
I need you here with me,
So here's a heart to heart,
On the back of postcards sent from California,
Remember when I said,
Just stay what you are,
I know you hate the feeling when I walk away,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Because you're not here with me,
You can break my heart open,
And ruin my epic ending,
Your hand like a noose around my neck,
But the next time you say,
Promise me, I'll make,
One for myself to always stay (what I am)
I need you here with me,
So here's a heart to heart,
On the back of postcards sent from California,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Because you're not here with me,
I need you here with me,
So here's a heart to heart,
On the back of postcards sent from California,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Remember when I said,
Just stay what you are,
I know you hate the feeling when I walk away,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Because you're not here with me,
I'll take the final words you wrote,
To make them feel like bliss,
As always as I'll take the praise,
I have a way with making things,
Scripted like a song that makes you sting,
I need you here with me,
So here's a heart to heart,
On the back of postcards sent from California,
Remember when I said,
Just stay what you are,
I know you hate the feeling when I walk away,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Because you're not here with me,
You can break my heart open,
And ruin my epic ending,
Your hand like a noose around my neck,
But the next time you say,
Promise me, I'll make,
One for myself to always stay (what I am)
I need you here with me,
So here's a heart to heart,
On the back of postcards sent from California,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Because you're not here with me,
I need you here with me,
So here's a heart to heart,
On the back of postcards sent from California,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Remember when I said,
Just stay what you are,
I know you hate the feeling when I walk away,
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be,
Because you're not here with 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"

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.

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.
oh i love this song... and.. long distant relationship sucks much... ;(
I think this is my least favorite ap song except the line "i know you hate the feeling when i walk away" thats amazing
Easily my second favorite Amber Pacific song. I love the drumline in the beginning. Yeah and pretty much this is just a song about long distance relationships, but it's just so upbeat.
i love this song and the band (hence my username). its upbeat .... the chorus is defintly the best part...
I freaking love this song; makes me look forward to a trip I may take to Cali. ;] They're just talking about how someone is so far, and they want to speak with them, and how he's just lost without her.
This is my favorite song of theirs and I love the "Your hand like a noose around my neck," because it is like this long distance thing is killing me.
long distance relationships suck more than ... i don't know what. they BITE.
so basically. Amber Pacific is great.
i think this song is [obviously] about a long distance relationship [When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be, Because you're not here with me,] and its pretty much killing him.. [You can break my heart open, And ruin my epic ending, Your hand like a noose around my neck,]
every time they leave each other it breaks his heart.

You can break my heart open, And ruin my epic ending, Your hand like a noose around my neck, But the next time you say, Promise me, I'll make, One for myself to always stay (what I am) best verse ever
