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.
We were meant to be
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keeps that body hot
You were made for me
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keeps that body hot
Me and you we were meant to be
But you already have a happy family
But nigga I'm not happy cause you're not with me
And nigga she's not happy cause your loving me
Or is it lusting me or just fucking me
Nigga why you seeing me its what you want to see
I was fool set it up on top of you
Looking good slow fucking and I'm loving you
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keeps that body hot
Real good drama love never want to stop
I love you nigga need you nigga in my life to stay
With me forever make a way for me and you to be
Cause I don't see another nigga when it comes to you
I never need another nigga all I need is you
I know you feel me hear the love in these words I say
I want you nigga for myself we were meant to be
It was plain to see
We were meant to be
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
I was made for you
You were made for me
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
Me and you we was meant to be
I was made for you and you was made for me
Sitting home late at night sharing our hopes and dreams
Or tell me was those all lies that you told to me
When you were holding me taking control of me
Can't go home still I'm sleep cause when you're gone I'm weak
Thinking about what your doing when your home with her
Thinking about what she doing why you ain't leaving her
Cause you deceiving her you don't believe in her
You 'posed to be with me it's where you want to be
Always going home late telling lies to her
You know I need is us together is what we both prefer
I'm that bitch that keeps you going keeps that body hot
Real good drama love never want to stop
I love you nigga need you nigga in my life to stay
You know me and you we were meant to be
It was plain to see
We were meant to be
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
I was made for you
You were made for me
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
Call me lover friends to the end ill forever be true
Gives a fuck what they say how I'm stupid for you
I feel the joy in my heart and I know its true
I feel the bond me and you when you step in the room
See butterflies in your eyes when I'm looking at you
Feel warm inside when we lie playing sucking us too
And you show me when you smile I be wanting to cry
How you touch me deep inside I be wondering why
If it ain't meant to be if you ain't made for me
Why is it that I'm weak shit I can hardly sleep
Thinking bout what you doing while you home with her
Thinking bout what she doing why you ain't leaving her
I'm that bitch that make you moan keep that body hot
Real good drama love never want to stop
I love you nigga need you nigga in my life to stay
With me forever make a way for me and you to be
It was plain to see
We were meant to be
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
I was made for you
You were made for me
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
It was plain to see
We were meant to be
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
I was made for you
You were made for me
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
You and me we were meant to be
I was made for you you was made for me
Baby can't you see that its killing me
I'm that bitch that makes you moan keep that body hot
I'd rather have you home with me

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Lot to be said for impotance. Better known as I don't give a fuck.
