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.
Tell me how you feel,
Cause I don't think you care at all.
Confusing transmissions,
Confirm my suspicions.
We're not going to keep holding on.
Getting out, I'm not gonna play your games.
I'll make my decision,
No need for revision.
I know that you don't feel the same.
But that's all right.
I'm far past the point of return tonight.
And there's no lesson here to be learned,
Except to never fall in love again.
Are you listening?
Am I getting through at all?
I'm trying to save you from breaking your heart,
But I know you'll take the fall.
Talking to myself, its never really helped.
Yea I know talking to myself never really helped.
But that's all right.
Yea that's all right.
I'm far past the point of return tonight.
And there's no lesson here to be learned,
Except to never fall in love again.
I'll never hold back.
I'll never give my heart to you again.
But that's all right.
Now that's all right.
All right.
But that's all right.
I'm far passed the point of return tonight.
And there's no lesson here to be learned.
Except to never fall in love,
No I'll never fall in love again.
Cause I don't think you care at all.
Confusing transmissions,
Confirm my suspicions.
We're not going to keep holding on.
Getting out, I'm not gonna play your games.
I'll make my decision,
No need for revision.
I know that you don't feel the same.
But that's all right.
I'm far past the point of return tonight.
And there's no lesson here to be learned,
Except to never fall in love again.
Are you listening?
Am I getting through at all?
I'm trying to save you from breaking your heart,
But I know you'll take the fall.
Talking to myself, its never really helped.
Yea I know talking to myself never really helped.
But that's all right.
Yea that's all right.
I'm far past the point of return tonight.
And there's no lesson here to be learned,
Except to never fall in love again.
I'll never hold back.
I'll never give my heart to you again.
But that's all right.
Now that's all right.
All right.
But that's all right.
I'm far passed the point of return tonight.
And there's no lesson here to be learned.
Except to never fall in love,
No I'll never fall in love again.

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
