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.
Even though it's been so long, my love for you keeps going strong.
I remember the things that we used to do
a kiss in the rain till the sun shined through.
I tried to deny it, but I'm still in love with you.
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy,
ever since you went away, every hour of every day.
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.
No matter what I say or do, there's just no getting over you.
I can see the love shining in your eyes,
and it comes as such a sweet surprise.
It seems believing is worth the wait,
so hold me and tell me it's not too late.
We're so good together, we're starting forever now.
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy,
ever since you went away, every hour of every day.
I miss you like crazy,I miss you, baby.
Love like ours will never end, just touch me and we're there again.
Just one night, and we'll have to find the feelings like we used to do.
Hold on tight, and whatever comes our way, we're gonna make it through.
It seems to believing is worth the wait,
so hold me and tell me it's not too late.
We're so good together , we're starting forever now.
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.
No matter what I say or do, there's just no getting over you.
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.
I remember the things that we used to do
a kiss in the rain till the sun shined through.
I tried to deny it, but I'm still in love with you.
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy,
ever since you went away, every hour of every day.
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.
No matter what I say or do, there's just no getting over you.
I can see the love shining in your eyes,
and it comes as such a sweet surprise.
It seems believing is worth the wait,
so hold me and tell me it's not too late.
We're so good together, we're starting forever now.
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy,
ever since you went away, every hour of every day.
I miss you like crazy,I miss you, baby.
Love like ours will never end, just touch me and we're there again.
Just one night, and we'll have to find the feelings like we used to do.
Hold on tight, and whatever comes our way, we're gonna make it through.
It seems to believing is worth the wait,
so hold me and tell me it's not too late.
We're so good together , we're starting forever now.
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.
No matter what I say or do, there's just no getting over you.
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
