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 was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I'm like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling , I was lost in your love
There's been a diff'rence of opinion to the way I've been treating you
But you know that I've tried to apologize,
for all the bad times I've put you through
On the chance that I could make you mine
There's not a thing I would not do
And wrong or right I'll be with you and lost in your love
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I'm like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling , I was lost in your love
Now I will follow you where the wild bird flies
Through endless skies I will go
So I can be so near you girl and all of this you gotta know
That when I get you here inside my arms
I never ever ever will let you go
And wrong or right I'll be with you and lost in your love
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I'm like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I'm like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling , I was lost in your love
There's been a diff'rence of opinion to the way I've been treating you
But you know that I've tried to apologize,
for all the bad times I've put you through
On the chance that I could make you mine
There's not a thing I would not do
And wrong or right I'll be with you and lost in your love
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I'm like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling , I was lost in your love
Now I will follow you where the wild bird flies
Through endless skies I will go
So I can be so near you girl and all of this you gotta know
That when I get you here inside my arms
I never ever ever will let you go
And wrong or right I'll be with you and lost in your love
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I'm like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling I was lost in your love

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
