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.
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
When my days and nights are lonely
And friends are few
I find everything in you
Sweet smelling fragrance like a rose
You're so, so, so warm, I'm happy in you
I wake up to the morning sun
Kiss you then I'm on the run
Sometimes work gets so hard
Everyday thoughts of you
Gets me through
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
'Cause I'm layin' that good love on me
I'll be here for you only
Nothing can take a place of you
I thank God for bringing us together
In my eyes you're a treasure, it's such a pleasure
When I wake up to the morning sun
Kiss you then I'm on the run
All I do is think about you baby, all day long
My love song, I find happiness in you, baby
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything, everything I find
Everything, baby
Everything, everything, everything in you
Everything, everything, everything in you
Everything, everything, every, baby
Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything that I think that I want
I find it in you, girl
Oh, you've been so good to me
I can never leave you baby
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you
I find everything in you
When my days and nights are lonely
And friends are few
I find everything in you
Sweet smelling fragrance like a rose
You're so, so, so warm, I'm happy in you
I wake up to the morning sun
Kiss you then I'm on the run
Sometimes work gets so hard
Everyday thoughts of you
Gets me through
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
'Cause I'm layin' that good love on me
I'll be here for you only
Nothing can take a place of 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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
