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.
Got me feeling stuck got me feeling out my way
I just wanna
My way I just wanna
My oh my
I knew right from the start it was too good to be true
But you fell into my arms like the rain that hits the stoop
Reminiscing on those days I used to scoop you in the coup
Miss all the time we spent together without you I'm blue
Yeah I'm blue
I don't know what to do
I sit here all confused
Looking at these photos cause it's all I have of you
I do this on the us
I do this on the usual
I only f**k girls if they beautiful
B***h why you got me stressing
The way that you been acting ill have someone take my seconds
I just want to show you love overflow you with these blessing
Yet you act like its a problem cus my key ain't for a Lexus
I'll still drive to your crib like what's up?
Miss me with that bull s**t I be calling all your bluffs
I'll give you the world but no i'll never be enough
Even after all this s**t you got me feeling stuck
Got me feeling stuck got me feeling out my way b***h
Pulled you out the mud I could of brought you in the spaceship
It's funny how this love could really turn right into hatred
Funny how you wanna be right back up on my waist b***h
But I don't give a
I knew right from the start it was too good to be true
But you fell into my arms like the rain that hits the stoop
Reminiscing on those days I used to scoop you in the coup
Miss all the time we spent together without you I'm blue
Yeah I'm blue
I don't know what to do
I sit here all confused
Looking at these photos cause it's all I have of you
I do this on the us
I do this on the usual
I only f**k girls if they beautiful
Yeah shorty on my mind but I gotta keep it moving
Cus i'm stuck in my old ways yeah i'm stuck in my emotions
Drunk up off your love got me sipping off your potion
Bring it back to the crib and you know we bust it open
Bust it open
Playing with my heart from the start s**t was hopeless
Cus when i'm on the road thats the only time you notice
And I don't really give a f**k 'bout you and all your hoes b***h
Cus I just been ballin' on em' like my name is DeRozan
Aye
Hold up
Know we know we sip Bacardi tonight
Yea
And she getting crazy off ice
Its funny I ain't really gotta stay here tonight
No
I ain't tryna stay here tonight but regardless
Ima' hit that b***h back
I knew right from the start it was too good to be true
But you fell into my arms like the rain that hits the stoop
Reminiscing on those days I used to scoop you in the coup
Miss all the time we spent together without you I'm blue
Yeah I'm blue
I don't know what to do
I sit here all confused
Looking at these photos cause it's all I have of you

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Definitely, one of the best songs by Redemption. The meaning is obvious.
Nick Van Dyk writes great and powerful lyrics.
