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 walked out, you left me
You know I'm hurtin' for you
It seems now that it's over
But there is nothin' I can do
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know
Jackie came, she went away
Deep in the valley I kissed her that day but
It seems I'm thinkin' of you
But I'm still thinkin' about myself
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know
I miss you, you know that
But when I see you sometimes
I'm cut up yeah and I'm broken
There I asking you how you are
Jackie came, she went away
Deep in the valley I kissed her that day but
It seems I'm thinkin' of you
But I'm still thinkin' of someone else
Well, I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love, why does it do it, do it, do it to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this, do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
You know I'm hurtin' for you
It seems now that it's over
But there is nothin' I can do
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know
Jackie came, she went away
Deep in the valley I kissed her that day but
It seems I'm thinkin' of you
But I'm still thinkin' about myself

It seems I'm thinkin' of you
But I'm still thinkin' of someone else

I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this to me?
I don't know
Why does love, why does it do it, do it, do it to me?
I don't know
Why does love do this, do this to me?
I don't know
I don't know

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.

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 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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
