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.
You're so beautiful, divine
Everything 'bout you so fine
And with the love like yours
There is no pain in this world that I can't endure
So beautiful, so wonderful
And as we float on the floor
I hear the music of love
Chorus
This is our song
This is the song we'll remember forever and ever
It means to you what it means to me
So from this moment on, we know
This is our song
Our song
Anytime I feel alone
I put on our favorite song
And like the music and words
We merge into one
And play on and on
Love's so beautiful, unconditional
Can't find the words to explain
This is our song and our song says it all
Chorus
When my skies are grey
Make them clear again
When I'm weak you are strong
I need to hear the sound, you need to hear the words
This is how it all began
Chorus
This is the song we'll remember forever and ever
That it means to you, what it means to me
So from this moment on
This is our song
This is our song
So forever and ever
With just so you know
Just so
We know
We know
We both know
This is our song
Everything 'bout you so fine
And with the love like yours
There is no pain in this world that I can't endure
So beautiful, so wonderful
And as we float on the floor
I hear the music of love
Chorus
This is our song
This is the song we'll remember forever and ever
It means to you what it means to me
So from this moment on, we know
This is our song
Our song
Anytime I feel alone
I put on our favorite song
And like the music and words
We merge into one
And play on and on
Love's so beautiful, unconditional
Can't find the words to explain
This is our song and our song says it all
Chorus
When my skies are grey
Make them clear again
When I'm weak you are strong
I need to hear the sound, you need to hear the words
This is how it all began
Chorus
This is the song we'll remember forever and ever
That it means to you, what it means to me
So from this moment on
This is our song
This is our song
So forever and ever
With just so you know
Just so
We know
We know
We both know
This is our song

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
