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.
Oh, life is so hard
And you have to choose
The call of the wind
On the highway of fools
Why does a man never cry when he's feeling
You murder all his feelings
Will you still be there
Only love knows why
Between the fire
When white doves cry?
Why does a man never show what he's meaning
To murder all his feelings
And you cry in the night
When there's no one besides
Your tears
Don't worry baby
I'll be by your side
Don't let it ever get you down with you tonight
Don't worry baby
Where he has gone?
My heart is out of my control
I'm falling strong
Don't worry pretty baby
Come and get you down tonight
Come and get
Come and get
Come and get you down
Your heart of pride
Don't worry pretty baby
Come and get you down tonight
Come and get
Come and get
Come and get you down
Your heart of pride
Heart and pride
I live for love
And you've got to try
Oh, don't let this chance, baby pass you by
Why does a girl never cry when her feelings
Are murdered by bad dealings
It started in heaven
There's a place for you
Give me the chance for a rendez-vous
Why does a girl never shows what she's meaning
You murder all her feelings
And you cry in the night
When there's no one beside
Your tears
And you have to choose
The call of the wind
On the highway of fools
Why does a man never cry when he's feeling
You murder all his feelings
Will you still be there
Only love knows why
Between the fire
When white doves cry?
Why does a man never show what he's meaning
To murder all his feelings
And you cry in the night
When there's no one besides
Your tears
Don't worry baby
I'll be by your side
Don't let it ever get you down with you tonight
Don't worry baby
Where he has gone?
My heart is out of my control
I'm falling strong
Don't worry pretty baby
Come and get you down tonight
Come and get
Come and get
Come and get you down
Your heart of pride
Don't worry pretty baby
Come and get you down tonight
Come and get
Come and get
Come and get you down
Your heart of pride
Heart and pride
I live for love
And you've got to try
Oh, don't let this chance, baby pass you by
Why does a girl never cry when her feelings
Are murdered by bad dealings
It started in heaven
There's a place for you
Give me the chance for a rendez-vous
Why does a girl never shows what she's meaning
You murder all her feelings
And you cry in the night
When there's no one beside
Your tears

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

“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.
