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.
Number 1 number 1.
Girl! number 1! your my number 1 girl number 1.
You're my angel girl you were sent to me
And everythin' happen for a reason it was meat to be (it's destiny)
You're my only love my number 1 lady
You're not just any girl
I'd love you to have my son baby!
Sometimes I make you mad sometimes I make you cry.
Sometimes its hard to show my felling's but they're still inside.
You're my number one and I ain't tryna play witchya
I got feelings for ya but this is all I'm tryna say to ya
It ain't hard to see you're more than a girl to me
You're the world to me!
You're my number one the life of my love
Its true I just wanna be with you.
You are my number 1 my number 1 my number 1 girl! girl!
Ya ya number 1 ya number 1 ya number 1 girl! girl!
You can keep Tia and Tamara matter fact Kim sherry too.
You know tequila nor Mary ain't got nothin' on you
But you was more in the picture long lastin' romances
I might slut a few bitches but I share with my friends.
And I ain't cuffin' no hands we ain't seen in public
I let my boys hit but that's a whole 'nother subject
Alright I think nothin' of it the bad misconceptions
There was only bad times so baby just be receptive
It ain't hard to see you're more than a girl to me
You're the world to me!
You're my number one the life of my love its true
I just wanna be with you.
You are my number 1 my number 1 my number 1 girl! girl!
Ya ya number 1 ya number 1 ya number 1 girl! girl!
You're more than just a fuck to me
That's why I treat you differently
Boo your spirit real good you changed me
Like a different dude how you do what you do hoe
No you do it well love your mind body and soul
Plus the way you smell you get what you wanna them other hoes
Get a cum jaw that's as far as its goin' with them
Me n you goin' far you're everything I asked for
Everything about you up to speed no cigarettes or liquor
She smoke a lil' weed.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
