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 remember when I sw you, you were standing by the bar.
I didn't now what to say to you, so I spied you from afar.
You're Like an angel with a pint glass, Aphrodite with a beer
I remember thinking at the time, "So what the hell's she doing here?".
So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.
If I asked you nicely would you want to take me home,
I've been staring at you for hours and I think that you're alone.
Oh, could you be my valentine, or can I have this dance,
Thing is you're so perfect, well I don't stand a chance.
So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.
I know they say that love hurts, but you didn't have to hurt me,
I would have taken your word for it, I trusted you completely.
I got your number in my pocket, I could give you a call,
The only problem with that plan is I don't like you at all.
So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.
So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.
I didn't now what to say to you, so I spied you from afar.
You're Like an angel with a pint glass, Aphrodite with a beer
I remember thinking at the time, "So what the hell's she doing here?".
So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.
If I asked you nicely would you want to take me home,
I've been staring at you for hours and I think that you're alone.
Oh, could you be my valentine, or can I have this dance,
Thing is you're so perfect, well I don't stand a chance.
So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.
I know they say that love hurts, but you didn't have to hurt me,
I would have taken your word for it, I trusted you completely.

And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,

So now I'm sitting hom and watching rain go down my window pain,
I wish I'd never got the courage up to go ask you your name.
And now I'm sitting home and watching rain go down my window pain,
You helped me get into this mess so won't you help me out again.

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"

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.
this song is pretty self explanitory, he meets the girl, falls for her, she dumps him- he wishes it never happened and blames her. this was 1 of the first spunge songs i heard and ive loved them ever since i first heard them :)
