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.
Baby sneeezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in.
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart (broken heart)
Pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host goodbye.
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflae
Scream the lullaby
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
I believe in love, But what else can I do, I'm so in love with you.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again, coming around again, coming around again...
I know nothing stays the same (I believe in love)
But if you're willing to play the game (I believe in love)
It's coming around again
I do believe, and I do believe in love.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
(I believe in love)
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in.
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart (broken heart)
Pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host goodbye.
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflae
Scream the lullaby
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
I believe in love, But what else can I do, I'm so in love with you.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again, coming around again, coming around again...
I know nothing stays the same (I believe in love)
But if you're willing to play the game (I believe in love)
It's coming around again
I do believe, and I do believe in love.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
(I believe in love)

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song if awesome...so much better than the original...download it
and buy it.
carly simons version is classic. copeland did a perfect job with it.
yeah is it out yet?
the ep will not be out till late summer. it was pushed back when they got onto the switchfoot tour that took them all the way up to cornerstone fl. but don't fret. their cover of berlin's take my breath away will blow jessica simpson's out of the water. she really ruined that song.
beautiful version of that song by a beautoful band!!
i <3 it !! :')
reminds me.... of a boy i once knew. okay, scratch that... still know. =) just a boy....
i looove..., "and i believe in love... but what else can i do? i'm so in love with you...."
i loved this song and then my favprote band coves it, it's as good as the orignial,what luck
It's obviously about a relationship that is slowly falling apart. The singer still loves them, though.
Copeland's version is absolutely chilling. Love it
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, but as long as two people love each other they can get through it.
That's what I get from it anyway.
i love this song, by the way. and copeland. they are incredible.
