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 feel so unsure trembling you open ur door
Your eyes glistening
Silly me
I'm already missin' you
And this is all I have
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought love would never end
One more touch is all I have
You said that we'd forever be in love
And you showed me life like I never knew
Things I never even dreamed of
But your smile just don't seem the same
And when you tell me you feel it to
I'm not sure who's to blame
Cause I gave everything
And this is all I have all I have to give
All I have to give this one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought our love would never end
One more touch is all I have
I cant believe (I cant believe)
This love is leavin' me
Love is leavin' me
And I cant believe (I cant believe)
What we've come to be (What we've come to be)
What we've come to be
And I wish I could make it like it used to be
Cant believe I'm through lovin' you
And your through lovin' me ooh
And in the middle of my final tear
You call out my name
My name
You cry out my name
But it can never be the same
Cause this is all I have
And this is all I have all I have to give
All I have to give
(Your smile don't seem the same)
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought our love would never end
One more touch is all I have
And this is all I have
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought love would never end
One more touch is all I have
And this is all I have
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought love would never end
One more touch is all I have
Your eyes glistening
Silly me
I'm already missin' you
And this is all I have
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought love would never end
One more touch is all I have
You said that we'd forever be in love
And you showed me life like I never knew
Things I never even dreamed of
But your smile just don't seem the same
And when you tell me you feel it to
I'm not sure who's to blame
Cause I gave everything
And this is all I have all I have to give
All I have to give this one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought our love would never end
One more touch is all I have
I cant believe (I cant believe)
This love is leavin' me
Love is leavin' me
And I cant believe (I cant believe)
What we've come to be (What we've come to be)
What we've come to be
And I wish I could make it like it used to be
Cant believe I'm through lovin' you
And your through lovin' me ooh
And in the middle of my final tear
You call out my name
My name
You cry out my name
But it can never be the same
Cause this is all I have
And this is all I have all I have to give
All I have to give
(Your smile don't seem the same)
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought our love would never end
One more touch is all I have
And this is all I have
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought love would never end
One more touch is all I have
And this is all I have
All I have to give
All I have to give
This one last kiss
I know its not enough
I thought love would never end
One more touch is all I have

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
