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.
Aye baby, where you come from
Aye baby, you snuck up behind me
Aye baby, we've only just begun
Aye baby, but I'm all and you got me
Aye baby, people got it all wrong
Aye baby, when they say love is hopeless
Aye baby, love is what you want
Aye baby, no distractions, man I'm focused
Hands were meant, meant, meant to be held and
Lips were meant, meant for sweet kisses
Hearts were meant, meant to feel love
And you give me more than enough
You make love so fun, baby you're the one
Even though we've just begun
I'm falling, I'm falling,
Some say love is hard and I should hold my guard
But tonight I'll give you my heart
I'm falling, I'm falling
Whoa
I, I, I, I, I, I,
Fallen in love and I can't get up no
I, I, I, I, I, I,
I've fallen down, in love
And I don't care who knows about it
They can know who talk about it
How I, I, I,
I found love
Aye baby, I cry when I laugh
Aye baby, I feel so lucky
Aye baby, hope this feeling don't pass
Aye baby, and you're the drum of my heart beat
Aye baby, I can do anything
Aye baby, with you right by my side
Aye baby, they say love is blind
Aye baby, but it's also hard to find
Hands were meant, meant, meant to be held and
Lips were meant, meant for sweet kisses
Hearts were meant, meant to feel love
And you give me more than enough
You make love so fun, baby you're the one
Even though we've just begun
I'm falling, I'm falling
Some say love is hard and I should hold my guard
But tonight I'll give you my heart
I'm falling, I'm falling
Whoa
I, I, I, I, I, I,
Fallen in love and I can't get up no
I, I, I, I, I, I
I've fallen down, in love
And I don't care who knows about it
They can know who talk about it
How I, I, I,
I found love
You make love so fun, baby you're the one
Even though we've just begun
I'm falling, I'm falling
Some say love is hard and I should hold my guard
But tonight I'll give you my heart
I'm falling, I'm falling
Whoa
I, I, I, I, I, I
Fallen in love and I can't get uṗ no
I, I, I, I, I, I
I've fallen down, in love
And I don't care who knows about it
They can know who talk about it
How I, I, I,
I found love
Aye baby, you snuck up behind me
Aye baby, we've only just begun
Aye baby, but I'm all and you got me
Aye baby, people got it all wrong
Aye baby, when they say love is hopeless

And I don't care who knows about it
They can know who talk about it
How I, I, I,
I found love

The Night We Met

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"

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.
