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 don't want to see me without you, you without me
I don't want to see me without you, you without me
Ever since we hooked up its just been me and you
Good and bad times but we still made it through
And I don't want to see you with somebody new
So I'll do whatever it takes for me to make it with you
I love the ways it feels when I'm touching your body
All alone on our own
Love when your acting naughty
Light skin, nice shape with a beautiful face
I know your the type of girl that I couldn't replace
And I don't ever want to have to see you go
'cause if you did, I wouldn't want no one, I'd rather be alone
I need you in my life, I'm not affraid to admit it
So don't tell me that its over 'cause girl I know it isn't
I know I made you sad and I'm sorry that I did it
So please baby girl don't tell me that your finished with me
I promise I can show you that I'm the one that's for you
And I don't care about who love me mija, I love you
Me without you I can't see it
Girl I need you please believe me
Give me one more try
And I'll make it worth your while
Me without you I can't do it
Girl I know I put you through it
They don't want to see
You with me
Not another day goes by without me thinkin of you
I couldnt picture me happy without picture you
You know we got many that don't want to see us together
I know its been a lil rough but I'll never let you go never
And it don't matter what they say or do
'cause there never gonna change the way I feel about you
I'm not impressed by other woman, I won't waist my time
I mean look at your self baby, your so damn fine
And I ain't lyin when I say that your one of a kind
You always on my mind
Your beauty shine
I'm so glad your mine
And I can look but never find someone quiet like you
And I apologize for anythin I put you through
I can't get enough of you,and you know it too
I can see you on the aisle and your walkin through with me
And that's all I will ever need in my life
All my dreams will come true when I make you my wife
That's right
Me without you I can't see it
Girl I need you please believe me
Give me one more try
And I'll make it worth your while
Me without you I can't do it
Girl I know I put you through it
They don't want to see
You with me
I know these girls think I'm lucky
But I'm no fool
I know I'm the one that's lucky for bein with you
I love your long hair and pretty eyes
And your the perfect size
The kind of girl that be wanted by other guys
You by my side, I'll never be lonely
I'll always want you to be my one and only
Became addicted to the love you showed me
I only want you to be the one to hold me
Your so sweet, all I'm wantin is you
'cause when I close my eyes, all I can picture is you with me
And that's how it will always be
So come and tell me you feel the same with me
I don't want to see me without you, you without me
Girl I need you please believe me
Give me one more try
And I'll make it worth your while
Me without you
I can't do it
Girl I know I put you through it
They don't want to see
You with me

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
