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.
Sí, yo quería ser esa mujer
La madre de tus hijos
Y juntos caminar hacia el altar
Directo hacia la muerte
Y al final ni hablar
Los dos nos destruimos
Y al final, qué tal
Tú y yo ya no existimos
No, no quiero ser esa mujer
Ella se fue a un abismo
Y tú no eres aquel que prometió
Sería mi super héroe
Y que todo acabó, no queda más
Seremos dos extraños
Yo te olvidaré, me olvidarás
Hasta nunca
Y dónde quedó, ese botón
Que lleva a la felicidad
Luna de miel, rosa pastel
Clichés y tonterías
Y al final, ni hablar
Los dos nos destruimos
Y al final, qué tal
Tú y yo ya no existimos
No, no quiero ser esa mujer
Ella se fue a un abismo
Y tú no eres aquel que prometió
Sería mi super héroe
Y que todo acabó, no queda más
Seremos dos extraños
Yo te olvidaré, me olvidarás
Hasta nunca
La madre de tus hijos
Y juntos caminar hacia el altar
Directo hacia la muerte
Y al final ni hablar
Los dos nos destruimos
Y al final, qué tal
Tú y yo ya no existimos
No, no quiero ser esa mujer
Ella se fue a un abismo
Y tú no eres aquel que prometió
Sería mi super héroe
Y que todo acabó, no queda más
Seremos dos extraños
Yo te olvidaré, me olvidarás
Hasta nunca
Y dónde quedó, ese botón
Que lleva a la felicidad
Luna de miel, rosa pastel
Clichés y tonterías
Y al final, ni hablar
Los dos nos destruimos
Y al final, qué tal
Tú y yo ya no existimos
No, no quiero ser esa mujer
Ella se fue a un abismo
Y tú no eres aquel que prometió
Sería mi super héroe
Y que todo acabó, no queda más
Seremos dos extraños
Yo te olvidaré, me olvidarás
Hasta nunca

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.

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.
It's about a woman who was at first in a relationship with a guy, she was in love with him, she wanted to be the mother of his kids, marry him and grow old together.... then something went wrong they broke up ... and all those wonderful feelings went away... she didnt longer wanted to marry him , have his kids or even be with him.. she's talking bout saying goddbye and getting over each other
