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.
Another part with the same kids, another night with the same drinks
I need to find myself a new chick
I need to kiss a set of new lips
She's gotta be something new to me
Fresh face, someone new to please
So come on, come on girl, just you and me
Oh come on girl, just you and me
This kind of girl makes it rough (makin' it rough)
Holding our breaths while we touch
She won't kiss and tell, but this isn't hell
She got that name, it all seem like a game
How she is so well, I won't call this hell
If I had to guess, I'd say we have a mess you could sell
And how am I supposed to think, with her hand all over me
Telling me the right things, ever so distracting
She's gotta be something new to me
?
So come on, come on girl, just you and me
Oh come on girl, just you and me
This kind of girl makes it rough (makin' it rough)
Holding our breaths while we touch
She won't kiss and tell, but this isn't hell
She got that name, it all seem like a game
How she is so well, I won't call this hell
If I had to guess, I'd say we have a mess you could sell
She's makin' it harder, harder to breathe
I'm gettin' weaker, so pullin' the strings
The lights are all lost, there's no one around
We've both lost our minds, nowhere to be found
It's gettin' hot, I'm not saying this is hell
but I swear, this girl's a mess you could sell
She won't kiss and tell, but this isn't hell
She got that name, it all seem like a game
How she is so well, I won't call this hell
If I had to guess, I'd say we've got a mess you could sell
I need to find myself a new chick
I need to kiss a set of new lips
She's gotta be something new to me
Fresh face, someone new to please
So come on, come on girl, just you and me
Oh come on girl, just you and me
This kind of girl makes it rough (makin' it rough)
Holding our breaths while we touch
She won't kiss and tell, but this isn't hell
She got that name, it all seem like a game
How she is so well, I won't call this hell
If I had to guess, I'd say we have a mess you could sell
And how am I supposed to think, with her hand all over me
Telling me the right things, ever so distracting
She's gotta be something new to me

So come on, come on girl, just you and me
Oh come on girl, just you and me

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
Its; Another party with the same kids and; And how am I supposed to think, with her hands all over me and the ? is; Loose ends but no signs of strings
Im really happy i bought this cd today. It is amazing.
this needs to be updated, atticusflame182 has the correct lyrics i love this song, it's one of my favorites off their new album
wrong: the lights are all lost right: the lights are all off
wrong: we've both lost our minds, nowhere to be found right: we've both lost our minds, they're nowhere to be found
i love the maine. their lyrics are soo catchy.
the lyric is "She won't kiss and tell, but this isnt how" ...not "...but this isnt hell"...
they wouldnt use the same word twice like that...
Isnt it Oh she moves so well? instead of oh she is so well? I might be wrong though (: x
yeah your right its "oh she moves well" and in the begining its not "another part" its "another party" theres alot of mistakes on here haha
yeahh lyrics seriously need to be updated. i think this song is about a guy at a party and he's looking for a girl. he wants to hookup with her but theres something telling him not to. but then the girls all over him and realllly tempting him so it's like the struggle between "hook up, or not hook up"
who knows. could be completely wrong.
These are the right lyrics !Another party with the same kids, another night with the same drinks I need to find myself a new chick I need to kiss a set of new lips
She's gotta be something new to me Fresh face, someone new to please So come on, come on girl, just you and me Oh come on girl, just you and me
This kind of girl makes it rough (makin' it rough) Holding in our breaths while we touch She won't kiss and tell, but this isn't hell She got that name, it all seems like a game How she is so well, I won't call this hell If I had to guess, I'd say we have a mess you could sell
And how am I supposed to think, with her hands all over me Telling me the right things, ever so distracting
She's gotta be something new to me Loose ends but no sign of stings So come on, come on girl, just you and me Oh come on girl, just you and me
