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.
Girl you is so fine
Hold you near to me
All the time
Things ill do for you
Would you do for me?
Hold me too
Gold is in your eyes
Need you near to me
All the time
Lord i understand
Things youll do for me
Do to me
Girl

Go slow
(nicely for a night just to live)
That live for you girl
(and move on)
Boy

Go slow
(nicely for a night just to live)
Thats been for you world
(and move on)
Your not tryin'
Comin' in you hope you be the problem like the lyin'
You be better than them
So, you never biting
Frontin' all the shit and then the one they are reciting
Cuz you better than them
Your not tryin,
Comin in you hope you all be burnin' like the lion
You be tougher than them
So, you never biting
Fighting all the shit and then the people are reciting
Cuz you better than them

Go slow

Thats been for you world
(and move on)
So, when I was just a little young child,
Playin every game on the streets
Ghetto, someone says, "Who are fatherless?"
There was a mother, are you bet that you could keys
Speakin out the mind, and then a friend that who will leach
Bless 'em s-low, body write a double feat
Spirits come out and just to understand the beats
In this wonderland world
I remember the days up in the past
Time didn't matter
I remember the days up in the past
Time didn't matter
Girl

Go slow
(nicely for a night just to live)
That live for you girl
(and move on)
Boy

Thats been for you world
(and move on)
Hold you near to me
All the time
Things ill do for you
Would you do for me?
Hold me too
Gold is in your eyes
Need you near to me
All the time
Lord i understand
Things youll do for me

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
