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 can't stop missin' you
Wish I was there with you
I can't stop missin' you
No, no, no, no
I can't stop missin' you (no)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you
No, no, no, no
I miss the way you kiss
Miss the way you wear them heels and make it switch
Miss the way your hair blows in the wind
And I miss you stayin' here 'til the mornin'
Miss the way you put on your makeup
Miss the way you love me too much
It's everything about you, baby
Wanna know where you been lately
Do you go out?
Do you still live at your old house?
Do you got somebody new in your life?
'Cause I can't get you out of my mind
And I wanna erase
But I can't stop seein' your face
And every girl I try to replace you with
Why can't I get over it? Simply 'cause I can't
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you (no, no)
No, no, no, no (I can't)
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you (no, no)
No, no, no, no
I can't stop
Missin' everything you say
Missin' all the crazy love we made
Why'd you throw it all away?
I want you to know
It's been hell tryna do this without you here
Baby, '07's supposed to be our year
You confront my worst fears
And I had my doubts
Every time you was goin' out
'Cause I knew you were tellin' me lies
And I can't get that outta my mind
And I wanna erase
But I can't stop seein' your face
And every girl I try to replace you with
Why can't I get over it? Simply 'cause I can't
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you (no, no)
No, no, no, no (can't stop)
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you (no, no)
No, no, no, no
Wish I
Could wake up and forget about you
Not try
To call you when I know I want to
Oh, wish I
I gotta fight this feelin'
Wish I
Can't let it take over me
Wish I
You just don't understand how much you were a part of me
I can't stop missin' you (oh, no)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you
No, no, no, no (oh, no)
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you (I can't stop, I can't sotp missin' you)
No, no, no, no
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you
No, no, no, no
I can't stop missin' you (can't stop)
Wish I was there with you (with you)
I can't stop missin' you (no, no)
No, no, no, no
I can't stop missin' you
I can't stop missin' you
I don't wanna stop
I can't stop missin' you, baby
I can't stop missin' you
No, no, no, no
I can't stop missin' you
Wish I was there with you
I can't stop missin' you
No, no, no, no

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Little Feat
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”
Mountain Song

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."
