He certainly did earn that reputation.
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me?
We did it all
Didn't we?
Jumped every wall
Instinctively
Unraveled codes
Ingeniously
Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
A great dream derailed
One of us - gone
One of us - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad
Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs
Still smolder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us
Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me
At the theater with me?
We did it all
Didn't we?
Jumped every wall
Instinctively
Unraveled codes
Ingeniously
Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
A great dream derailed
One of us - gone
One of us - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad
Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs
Still smolder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us
Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I think this song is about a relationship with someone that the main character loved being ended and him looking back on it with mournfully "Wired all the roads So seamlessly. We made it work. But one of us failed. That makes it so sad. A great dream derailed. One of us - gone. One of us - mad. One of us - me. All of us sad." Pete is defiantly talking about someone he loved, "Lean on my shoulder now. This story is done." This song has really been a song that I have listened to and thought a lot.
