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 don't wanna know your name
I don't ever wanna speak again
I just wanna be somewhere I can lose myself
Is that alright?
I don't wanna play any games
Someone always loses and they usually share my name
Just take me out of here
Let me be your souvenir
Just take my hand and stop the moonlight fading
Just take my hand and lead me up the stairs
Just take my hand and make me feel amazing
'Cos I don't feel amazing now
Does it even matter where you go
If we're living for the window or the radio
Just take your medicine in silence, take your medicine and write home
See the stars have lost their gaze
And I thought we had a lot of days to share
Oh anyway my heart is on the table
You can take it if you want, it's yours
Just take my hand and make me glad I'm changing
Oh take my hand and and take me anywhere
Oh take my hand and make me feel amazing
'Cos I don't feel amazing now
So if you've nothing else to do then come with me
You can make believe all good things come for free
Can't stop these noises at the door
Oh, well no, no, there's nothing there at all
Oh, no, no, there's nothing there at all
Oh, no, there's nothing there at all
Not at all
I don't feel amazing now
I don't feel amazing now
Oooooooh
I don't feel amazing now
I don't feel amazing now
Just take my hand and laugh like you are crazy
Oh take my hand and tell me life is fair
Oh take my hand and tell me I'm amazing, darling
'Cos I don't feel amazing now, amazing now
Can't get the noise out of my head
Singing away
Can't stop thinking about you instead
Every day isn't love when you're lonely
(Oh did I let you go
Oh how I let you go...)
I don't ever wanna speak again
I just wanna be somewhere I can lose myself
Is that alright?
I don't wanna play any games
Someone always loses and they usually share my name
Just take me out of here
Let me be your souvenir
Just take my hand and stop the moonlight fading
Just take my hand and lead me up the stairs
Just take my hand and make me feel amazing
'Cos I don't feel amazing now
Does it even matter where you go
If we're living for the window or the radio
Just take your medicine in silence, take your medicine and write home
See the stars have lost their gaze
And I thought we had a lot of days to share
Oh anyway my heart is on the table
You can take it if you want, it's yours
Just take my hand and make me glad I'm changing
Oh take my hand and and take me anywhere
Oh take my hand and make me feel amazing
'Cos I don't feel amazing now
So if you've nothing else to do then come with me
You can make believe all good things come for free
Can't stop these noises at the door
Oh, well no, no, there's nothing there at all
Oh, no, no, there's nothing there at all
Oh, no, there's nothing there at all
Not at all
I don't feel amazing now
I don't feel amazing now
Oooooooh
I don't feel amazing now
I don't feel amazing now
Just take my hand and laugh like you are crazy
Oh take my hand and tell me life is fair
Oh take my hand and tell me I'm amazing, darling
'Cos I don't feel amazing now, amazing now
Can't get the noise out of my head
Singing away
Can't stop thinking about you instead
Every day isn't love when you're lonely
(Oh did I let you go
Oh how I let you go...)
