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 was flipping through the cards down at the drugstore and
I found one I thought you would adore so I bough it
Walking back from the line to my car never seemed so far before
the day I stopped to think how I would feel if I lost you
But if this is my dying breath, I just want you to hear me,
hear me say I love you one last time
So will you be my Valentine for forever not one day, '
cause when this day is over know my feelings haven't changed
no my feeling haven't changed about you
Candy hearts and chocolate bars can't substitute for the feeling in your heart
so don't bother
Flowers are a loving gesture but you know you can do much better
if you try you can say it with the look in your eyes
But if this is my dying breath, I just want you to hear me,
hear me say I love you one last time
So will you be my Valentine for forever not one day, '
cause when this day is over know my feelings haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine no my feeling haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine no my feeling haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine no my feeling haven't changed about you
But if this is my dying breath, I just want you to hear me,
hear me say I love you one last time
So will you be my Valentine for forever not one day, '
cause when this day is over know my feelings haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine?
So will you be my Valentine?
So will you be my Valentine?
I found one I thought you would adore so I bough it
Walking back from the line to my car never seemed so far before
the day I stopped to think how I would feel if I lost you
But if this is my dying breath, I just want you to hear me,
hear me say I love you one last time
So will you be my Valentine for forever not one day, '
cause when this day is over know my feelings haven't changed
no my feeling haven't changed about you
Candy hearts and chocolate bars can't substitute for the feeling in your heart
so don't bother
Flowers are a loving gesture but you know you can do much better
if you try you can say it with the look in your eyes
But if this is my dying breath, I just want you to hear me,
hear me say I love you one last time
So will you be my Valentine for forever not one day, '
cause when this day is over know my feelings haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine no my feeling haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine no my feeling haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine no my feeling haven't changed about you
But if this is my dying breath, I just want you to hear me,
hear me say I love you one last time
So will you be my Valentine for forever not one day, '
cause when this day is over know my feelings haven't changed
So will you be my Valentine?
So will you be my Valentine?
So will you be my Valentine?

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”
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
