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.
Maybe I've been on the road too long
Living my life through these songs
I guess loving a music man
Really wasn't in your plans
Does it matter if I'm sorry again
And why should I apologize
You knew all along this was my life
You know my in's and out's
All of my fears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Where am I supposed to go
My only home was in your soul
I know that I can't stay here
And drown in a pool of tears
Should I pack my pride and face this life alone
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Maybe it's me who's cold and empty
And in my darkness I cannot see the light
Please God if there's an angel you could send me (if there's an angel)
Cause there's one missing from my life
You are my heart, you are my soul
Wherever you are, that's where I go
You know my in's and out's
All of my dears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Baby it's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Yeah, the life I love, the life I love, but it's you I can't live without
Living my life through these songs
I guess loving a music man
Really wasn't in your plans
Does it matter if I'm sorry again
And why should I apologize
You knew all along this was my life
You know my in's and out's
All of my fears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Where am I supposed to go
My only home was in your soul
I know that I can't stay here
And drown in a pool of tears
Should I pack my pride and face this life alone
And this whole world seems cold and empty
Someone please turn on the lights
Lord if there's an angel you could send me
I could use one here tonight
Maybe it's me who's cold and empty
And in my darkness I cannot see the light
Please God if there's an angel you could send me (if there's an angel)
Cause there's one missing from my life
You are my heart, you are my soul
Wherever you are, that's where I go
You know my in's and out's
All of my dears and doubts
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
It's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Baby it's the life I love but it's you I can't live without
Yeah, the life I love, the life I love, but it's you I can't live without

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is about a hard break up with someone. It didn't necesarily go bad, it was just hard for him to get over someone. This could be about Pam Anderson? This song also makes me think that he chose the music industry over this person, since he says it's the life i love, but it's you i can't live without. The life he loves being the music industry.
