Always been trying
To get reached all the time, but I'm not
Into this thing with the hugging in mingling spots
Always been scared
To be rude or show bad attitude
Trying to be kind for my own peace of mind
Is that good?

What can I do to let you in?
I've been living in doubt at least for a year
How can I show I want you here?
I have never been good at keeping people near,
Keeping people near.

Let's do something out of the ordinary!
Let's do it good, and do it now
Doors are open for us to storm them all
Without a care for whats inside,
I'm gonna meet you out tonight.

Always been into this thing with the mad party scene (???)
Company of more than 10 or at least in my dreams
Always been trouble with people, they're ugly within
The strength in my heart, they have taken it out,
part by part

What can I do to let you in?
I've been living in doubt at least for a year.
How can I show I want you here?
I have never been good at keeping people near,
keeping people near.

Let's do something out of the ordinary!
Let's do it good and do it now
Doors are open for us to storm them all
Without a care for whats inside,
Let's do something out of the ordinary!
Let's do it good and do it now!
Doors are open for us to storm them all
Without a care for what's inside.
I'm gonna meet you out tonight.

I'm gonna meet you out tonight.
I'm gonna meet you out tonight.
I'm gonna meet you out tonight.
I'm gonna meet you out tonight.

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

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”
