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 wanna die
Everytime you look at some good looking guy
And I wanna puke
Everytime I see some guy looking at you
And I'm all tore up inside
I just wanna die
Please somebody won't you kill me
It's like death from above
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
In love, in love, in love, in love
(in looooove, in looooooove)
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I'm sittin' up till 3
And I'm wonderin' where you're at
when you're not with me
I call again
And your roomate says that you are out with a friend
And I'm all broke up again
At the thought of this friend
And the things that he's doing to you
It's like death from above
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
In love, in love, in love, in love
(in loooooove, in looooooove)
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
Oh, my darling
Let me fuck you
Cuz I will be the one that always loved you
Until the death of time
I've loooooooved
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
I guess
I guess I must be falling in love
In love.

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
great song, good job on lyrics. my favorite get set go album. but i'm not sure about this line: "You're sick of stayin' up till 3." i always thought that was "sittin' up till 3" as in, he was sitting up until 3, wondering where she was. is this an official version?
