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 wanna love together, kissing and touching feels better
Now that I have, have you, I couldn't ask for nothing more
Like a misty breeze on a summer day
Or the warmth of sun after rain, you,
Always seem to balance me with your love
If you're so far away I want you near might sound cliche'
But my words are so sincere can't you
Taste the joy inside my tears (I'm so in love)
I've found love's treasure in this ocean of pleasure
And now that I have, have you, I won't search for anything more
Ooh love, what have you done to me
This crazy feeling I can't describe it feels like love,
It must be love, it must be love
Feels like snow caressing mountaintops
When I see your eyes from afar
All I can do is run with open arms
And love with all I got, I feel so at home when we're alone oh...
Love, when I'm in your arms
Feels like I'm melting into you
You keep me so warm
Ooh I feel so high above
Caught a glimpse of heaven in your eyes
Thanks for showing me love (You love so good)
Baby we will grow together, this is a joint endeavor
And there's nothing I'd rather see, than the love in your eyes for me
Cause this feeling is so surreal, you touch me places I didn't feel
I used won't but now I will trust in love
I'm elated and overjoyed, Over this connection between a girl and boy
I was empty till you filled the void, I'm so in love
Hook repeats till fade
Now that I have, have you, I couldn't ask for nothing more
Like a misty breeze on a summer day
Or the warmth of sun after rain, you,
Always seem to balance me with your love
If you're so far away I want you near might sound cliche'
But my words are so sincere can't you
Taste the joy inside my tears (I'm so in love)
I've found love's treasure in this ocean of pleasure
And now that I have, have you, I won't search for anything more
Ooh love, what have you done to me
This crazy feeling I can't describe it feels like love,
It must be love, it must be love
Feels like snow caressing mountaintops
When I see your eyes from afar
All I can do is run with open arms
And love with all I got, I feel so at home when we're alone oh...
Love, when I'm in your arms
Feels like I'm melting into you
You keep me so warm
Ooh I feel so high above
Caught a glimpse of heaven in your eyes
Thanks for showing me love (You love so good)
Baby we will grow together, this is a joint endeavor
And there's nothing I'd rather see, than the love in your eyes for me
Cause this feeling is so surreal, you touch me places I didn't feel
I used won't but now I will trust in love
I'm elated and overjoyed, Over this connection between a girl and boy
I was empty till you filled the void, I'm so in love
Hook repeats till fade

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
