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.
Come on with me through ruined lipglock
Across Tangian deserts, we'll flock
Madcap Medusa, flank my foghorn
We'll change four seasons with our first born
All ships of sense on hyper ocean
All kites of chaos, still in motion
My culture vulture, such a dab hand
I'll steal you from the year 4000
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Your tears leave trails of [Incomprehensible]
Autonoma, the [Incomprehensible]
Most crippled lines that I can't get to
You'd slip through time but I won't let you
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Across Tangian deserts, we'll flock
Madcap Medusa, flank my foghorn
We'll change four seasons with our first born
All ships of sense on hyper ocean
All kites of chaos, still in motion
My culture vulture, such a dab hand
I'll steal you from the year 4000
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Your tears leave trails of [Incomprehensible]
Autonoma, the [Incomprehensible]
Most crippled lines that I can't get to
You'd slip through time but I won't let you
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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
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.
this song just makes me want to go out and start partying.
I've got my dancing shoes on!!
