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 want to say one thing
To the american people
And I want you to listen to me
I'm not gunna say this again
I did not have sexual relations
With that woman
I was framed
I don't even know her name
Dame came in with an
Eight ball of cocaine
Low range
Got sprang off my pinky rang
I got my pee pee wet
She had a stinky thing
I got a dance in
She did the chicken wing
No romancin
Straight to stickin things
In places
Gave her a bracelet
Said I'll be back in the mornin
Be patient
So she was waitin
But I never came in
I was on the next plane to vegas, ay men
Take a statement
Your honor I'm a changed man
Game plan to blow up like
Iran
My man train like the taliban
I'm from cali man
We smoke the good shit
I want you to listen to me
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my eyes
What I'm seein today man
Is everything fake in
Californ-i-a in californ-i-a
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my ears
When I hear what they say man
Everythings fake in
Californ-i-a in california
Playground
Born and raised
I had to make more then
Minimum wage so
'authorities said they found more than seven ounces of marajuana in his luguage'
Ah hell no
I'm just tryin to get by
I'm just tryin to get by
But I'm tryin to get high
While I'm tryin to get by
I'm just tryin to get your
Pussy wet
Every night
Like a super soaker
Lets have a water fight
I got a place
That I want you to see
A little suite
On a hill by the sea
A couple g's is all I need
From ya
Come on babe
I'll scrape ya knees fo ya
Country momma let me be
Yo honey baby
You used to love me love me
Now you actin pissy lately
Is it cuz you heard about my
Pretty city lady?
Can't we all just get along
And make some pretty
Little babies?
I been pimpin since
The eighties
I been pimpin since
The eighties
'come up and see me sometime, anytime
The sooner the better'
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my eyes
What I'm seein today man
Is everything fake in
Californ-i-a in californ-i-a?
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my ears
When I hear what they say man
Everythings fake in
Californ-i-a in california
Shake your body
Like a brokin washing machine
Get you clean
Then dirty again
Shwayz on the airwaves
Ray-ban shades
Stay chillin on my face
Like oil of olay
Mo money
Mo problems
I got no problems homie
Only thing I got is some
Condoms a boombox
Papers, weed and beer
Sleepin on the couch
For the last three years
Still pimpin...
Now I want you to listen to me
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my eyes
What I'm seein today man
Is everything fake in
Californ-i-a in californ-i-a
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my ears
When I hear what they say man
Everythings fake in
Californ-i-a in california
Sex lives and video tapin
I can't believe my eyes
What I'm seein today man

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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
