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.
Go on, come with it
Hear me now
Breakout
I woke from a dream
Looked up to see your face was
Smiling down at me
The sunlight crept through
Painting my room and I just
Had to say
Primrose colored paths lay at your feet
[Chorus]
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Straight out of the blue
Drowning in you it's such a sweet sensation
And I'm floating above
This heavenly love and through my
Mirror I see
Magic multicolored painted dreams
[Chorus]
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Dance on the mike one day with this drama
Tripping on my love with the Bananarama
Primrose colored paths lay at your feet
[Chorus: x2]
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Hear me now
Breakout
I woke from a dream
Looked up to see your face was
Smiling down at me
The sunlight crept through
Painting my room and I just
Had to say
Primrose colored paths lay at your feet
[Chorus]
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Straight out of the blue
Drowning in you it's such a sweet sensation
And I'm floating above
This heavenly love and through my
Mirror I see
Magic multicolored painted dreams
[Chorus]
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Dance on the mike one day with this drama
Tripping on my love with the Bananarama
Primrose colored paths lay at your feet
[Chorus: x2]
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
