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.
Talk to me baby
Oh?
Never find a love like this
Oh?
Hey, let's go!
Never find a love like this
We go back so far
Swinging in your back yard
All the things that we used to do
We were cool back in high school
Oh I really liked you
Must have been your attitude
That's why you keep on running
In and out of my mind
As the years they'll roll by
Baby, now I know why
I keep coming back to you
You're the only one that knows me
Love it when you hold me
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've shown me
Never find a love like this
Well this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap your world around me
Never find a love like this
All the guys tried to take me
You're the one who saved me
I feel like I owe you my life
And as strange as it may seem
I'll go if you take me
I'm willing to sacrifice
That's why you keep on running
In and out of my mind
As the years they'll roll by
Baby, now I know why
I keep coming back to you
You're the only one that knows me
Love it when you hold me
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've shown me
Never find a love like this
'Cause this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your hear
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap you all around me
Never find a love like this
May never find a love, love, love a love like this
That still make me think about my middle school kiss
I sit here in this chair and I wish
For you not to leave me now
My friends they always told me
Not to make you my wifey
Man they was putting you down
And now they see we rolling
Me and you, we strolling
They don't wanna come around
Let me hear you say
You're the only one that knows me
Love it when you hold me
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've shown me
Never find a love like this
When this life tries to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap you all around me
Never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've show me
Never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this?
When this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh?
Never find a love like this
Oh?
Hey, let's go!
Never find a love like this
We go back so far
Swinging in your back yard

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"

Silent Planet
Silent Planet
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
