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.
Siento que me tocas sin ver
Que te apareces detrás de la pared
Detrás de mis recuerdos
Why siento las caricias de ayer
Aquellos labios que busco sin ceder
Te quiero ver por dentro
Why entre las llamadas busqué
Un mensaje oculto encontré
Why es que quiero saber
Dime que me crees, dime que me crees
Dime que sientes cuando me ves
O cuando me voy, cuando no estoy
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime otra vez nunca te olvidé
Dime que quieres volverme a ver
Sin importar lo que vendrá
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Cada espacio, cada lugar
Cada palabra inmortal que haz repetido
Grabo en mi cuerpo tus sonidos
Why cada vez que quiero soñar
Sólo hare falta pensar en el inicio
En lo que nos traerá el destino
Busco en las palabras la fe
Las caricias fieles de ayer
Porque quiero saber
Dime que me crees, dime que me crees
Dime que sientes cuando me ves
O cuando me voy, cuando no estoy
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime otra vez nunca te olvidé
Dime que quieres volverme a ver
Sin importar lo que vendrá
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime que me crees, dime que me crees
Dime que sientes cuando me ves
O cuando me voy, cuando no estoy
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime otra vez nunca te olvidé
Dime que quieres volverme a ver
Sin importar lo que vendrá
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Aah dime
Que te apareces detrás de la pared
Detrás de mis recuerdos
Why siento las caricias de ayer
Aquellos labios que busco sin ceder
Te quiero ver por dentro
Why entre las llamadas busqué
Un mensaje oculto encontré
Why es que quiero saber
Dime que me crees, dime que me crees
Dime que sientes cuando me ves
O cuando me voy, cuando no estoy
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime otra vez nunca te olvidé
Dime que quieres volverme a ver
Sin importar lo que vendrá
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Cada espacio, cada lugar
Cada palabra inmortal que haz repetido
Grabo en mi cuerpo tus sonidos
Why cada vez que quiero soñar
Sólo hare falta pensar en el inicio
En lo que nos traerá el destino
Busco en las palabras la fe
Las caricias fieles de ayer
Porque quiero saber
Dime que me crees, dime que me crees
Dime que sientes cuando me ves
O cuando me voy, cuando no estoy
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime otra vez nunca te olvidé
Dime que quieres volverme a ver
Sin importar lo que vendrá
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime que me crees, dime que me crees
Dime que sientes cuando me ves
O cuando me voy, cuando no estoy
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Dime otra vez nunca te olvidé
Dime que quieres volverme a ver
Sin importar lo que vendrá
Dime ven ven, dime ven ven dime
Aah dime

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Punchline

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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
¡No puedo quitar esta canción de mi cabeza! ¡La escucho dondequiera esté, aunque no quiera!
Esté canción es muy bein. Me gusta mucho y es muy bonito pero, no comprendo espanol. =]
Me gusta mucho esté canción. Es bonita y como señor nolan dice, la canción no quita de mi cabeza también. Pero es un bueno canción.
BUUUUEEEENOOOOOO
sr. nolan era LOCO
La canción es demasiado pegajosa! Y me encanta la letra...
pienso que la letra trata de una persona que aún ama a otra, y no está segura/o de como se siente ésta otra persona... quiere que le de una señal, otra oportunidad, sin pensar en lo que vendrá después...
This song is too catchy! And I love the lyrics
I think it's about someone still loving someone else, and isn't sure how he/she really feels... He/she just wants a sign, another chance, without thinking about what will come afterwards...
