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 just came by to let you know
I'll never ever let you go, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
And if you ever, ever stray
I know that that will be the day
That I die, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love
I've been around the world a bit
But you're the best thing I've seen yet, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
And if you want to take me on
We might be at it until dawn, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love
Hey baby
You see where I've been and you know where I'm going
Oh come on boy
My heart's on my sleeve and my love is showing
And if you stay around
I'm never ever gonna let you down, oh my, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love
I'll never ever let you go, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
And if you ever, ever stray
I know that that will be the day
That I die, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love
I've been around the world a bit
But you're the best thing I've seen yet, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
And if you want to take me on
We might be at it until dawn, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love
Hey baby
You see where I've been and you know where I'm going
Oh come on boy
My heart's on my sleeve and my love is showing
And if you stay around
I'm never ever gonna let you down, oh my, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
