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.
Yeah-Uh
We're loving each day as if it's the last
Dancing all night and havin' a blast
Oh baby I need you here
Girl I'm on a mission
To cure my condition
'cause' without your kissin'
My heart's just a prison
I'm hoping and wishin'
That girl I'm forgiven
Say yeah
'Cause every time you leave me I'm sad
The moment you're returning I'm glad
So lets not go forgetting what we had
'Cause it's bad
So damn bad, yeah
[Chorus]
We're loving each day as if it's the last
Dancing all night and havin' a blast
Oh baby I want you right here next to me
We're loving each day as if it's our last
Dancing all night and havin' a laugh
Please baby I need you here
If I hurt your feelings
Then baby we're even
'Cause I've been bereavin'
Since you said you're leaving
But now you're by my side
Lets not fight
'Cause you're right
That every time I lose you
I'm lost
No more you versus me girl
There's just us
'Cause anything without you's
Just a bust
Baby trust
You're a must, yeah
[Chorus]
So don't go throwing our love away
It's here to stay
I'm telling you
There is nothing that can stop us anyway
Our love is an ocean
Let's get it in motion
[Chorus]
I need you here
I need you here
I need you here
'Cause we're loving, and we're dreaming, and we're hoping, and we're dreaming
'Cause we're loving, and we're giving, and we're hoping, and we're dreaming
We're loving each day as if it's the last
Dancing all night and havin' a blast
Oh baby I need you here
Girl I'm on a mission
To cure my condition
'cause' without your kissin'
My heart's just a prison
I'm hoping and wishin'
That girl I'm forgiven
Say yeah
'Cause every time you leave me I'm sad
The moment you're returning I'm glad
So lets not go forgetting what we had
'Cause it's bad
So damn bad, yeah
[Chorus]
We're loving each day as if it's the last
Dancing all night and havin' a blast
Oh baby I want you right here next to me
We're loving each day as if it's our last
Dancing all night and havin' a laugh
Please baby I need you here
If I hurt your feelings
Then baby we're even
'Cause I've been bereavin'
Since you said you're leaving
But now you're by my side
Lets not fight
'Cause you're right
That every time I lose you
I'm lost
No more you versus me girl
There's just us
'Cause anything without you's
Just a bust
Baby trust
You're a must, yeah

So don't go throwing our love away
It's here to stay

[Chorus]
I need you here
I need you here
I need you here
'Cause we're loving, and we're dreaming, and we're hoping, and we're dreaming
'Cause we're loving, and we're giving, and we're hoping, and we're dreaming

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I wish he deos more uptempo song rather than boring slow song.
