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.
He pensado en ti intensamente
He pensado en ti continuamente
He intentado así retenerte a ti
Conmigo aquí, con cualquier medio
Y traerte aquí a cualquier precio
He dejado encendidas
Luces blancas en la niebla, para no perdernos más
Pero todo ha sido inútil
He luchado duro y sin ceder
Aunque ahora sé
La noche son tus ojos
Hace tiempo que no sé dormir
Bellos como el cielo son tus ojos
Increíblemente azules son, pero serenos no
La noche son tus ojos
Bellos como solo tienes tú
¿Cómo podré yo no mirarlos ya?
Yo no mirarlos ya
Te he vivido yo amando, amando
Te he vivido yo exagerando
Cuando pienso que me nutría
Yo así de ti, sin más medida
Respirándote como bebida
Y por ti sigo dejando
Yo mis huellas en la rabia
Nunca las seguiste tú
Yo estoy solo, tú estás sola
Finalmente ahora comprendí
Aunque ahora sé
La noche son tus ojos
Hace tiempo que no sé dormir
Bellos como el cielo son tus ojos
Increíblemente azules son, pero serenos no
La noche son tus ojos
Bellos como solo tienes tú
¿Cómo podré yo no mirarlos ya?
No, no, yo no mirarlos ya
Oh, uoh, yo no mirarlos ya, yeah
He pensado en ti continuamente
He intentado así retenerte a ti
Conmigo aquí, con cualquier medio
Y traerte aquí a cualquier precio
He dejado encendidas
Luces blancas en la niebla, para no perdernos más
Pero todo ha sido inútil
He luchado duro y sin ceder
Aunque ahora sé
La noche son tus ojos
Hace tiempo que no sé dormir
Bellos como el cielo son tus ojos
Increíblemente azules son, pero serenos no
La noche son tus ojos
Bellos como solo tienes tú
¿Cómo podré yo no mirarlos ya?
Yo no mirarlos ya
Te he vivido yo amando, amando
Te he vivido yo exagerando
Cuando pienso que me nutría
Yo así de ti, sin más medida
Respirándote como bebida
Y por ti sigo dejando
Yo mis huellas en la rabia
Nunca las seguiste tú
Yo estoy solo, tú estás sola
Finalmente ahora comprendí
Aunque ahora sé
La noche son tus ojos
Hace tiempo que no sé dormir
Bellos como el cielo son tus ojos
Increíblemente azules son, pero serenos no
La noche son tus ojos
Bellos como solo tienes tú
¿Cómo podré yo no mirarlos ya?
No, no, yo no mirarlos ya
Oh, uoh, yo no mirarlos ya, yeah

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”

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.

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.
