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 embrace dawn's early light with a view i've never known
For its the morning after
Shades of crimson adorn the horizon
Seems like the cold fronts come and gone,
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
agua deeper, deeper you got me swimming in a your love river
agua deeper, deeper Pandora's box is open for my pleasure
I succumb to a gentle sleep
For love's union makes me weak
And it’s he evening after
I found peace in our encounter
Surpressed emotions much too long,
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
You have no idea...no, no idea
Yeah what you're doing to me
agua deeper, deeper you got me swimming in a your love river
agua deeper, deeper Pandora's box is open for my pleasure
Nuff guys want you since came pon di scene
I feel so lucky that you choose me
So I dedicate my life to make you happy
Like a mermaid you're gonna swim in ecstasy
Loneliness has come and went
Now my life makes much more sense
I see my reflections after I found truth has finally found me
Surpressed emotions for so long
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
You have no idea...no, no idea
Yeah what you're doing to me
Surpressed emotions much too long,
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
agua deeper, deeper you got me swimming in a your love river
agua deeper, deeper Pandora's box is open for my pleasure
agua put your arms around my shoulder
agua you feel the pleasure SQUEEZE me tighter
agua in-a-mi arms you can sense the danger
You're making love to a true born Ragga
For its the morning after
Shades of crimson adorn the horizon
Seems like the cold fronts come and gone,
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
agua deeper, deeper you got me swimming in a your love river
agua deeper, deeper Pandora's box is open for my pleasure
I succumb to a gentle sleep
For love's union makes me weak
And it’s he evening after
I found peace in our encounter
Surpressed emotions much too long,
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
You have no idea...no, no idea
Yeah what you're doing to me
agua deeper, deeper you got me swimming in a your love river
agua deeper, deeper Pandora's box is open for my pleasure
Nuff guys want you since came pon di scene
I feel so lucky that you choose me
So I dedicate my life to make you happy
Like a mermaid you're gonna swim in ecstasy
Loneliness has come and went
Now my life makes much more sense
I see my reflections after I found truth has finally found me
Surpressed emotions for so long
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
You have no idea...no, no idea
Yeah what you're doing to me
Surpressed emotions much too long,
So I was glad when you came along
For you possess the right vibration
agua deeper, deeper you got me swimming in a your love river
agua deeper, deeper Pandora's box is open for my pleasure
agua put your arms around my shoulder
agua you feel the pleasure SQUEEZE me tighter
agua in-a-mi arms you can sense the danger
You're making love to a true born Ragga

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 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,

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.
So, he had a one night stand, and how he is falling for the girl?
That's pretty killer.
