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.

Pas cette chanson
Non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non
Ne joue pas cet air-là
Qui me rappelle autrefois
Oublie-le s´il le faut
Ne touche pas à ce piano
Oh, non, ne le joue pas
Mon cœur n´y tiendrait pas
De l´entendre, je le sais
Je me souviendrais qu´elle disait
Disait
Toi, que j´aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j´aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j´aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Tu mens, oui, oui, oui
Et plus d´un violon pleurait
Dans l´ombre où nos cœurs se parlaient
Notre amour était si grand
Que tout le ciel tenait dedans
Et depuis
Si quel qu´un fredonne
Mon cœur, mon cœur s´abandonne
J´entends jouer des violons
J´entends sa chanson et sa voix qui disait
Disait
Toi, que j´aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j´aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Toi, que j´aime
Mais tu sais que tu mens
Tu mens, oui, oui, oui
Pas cette chanson
Arrête, arrête
Pas cette chanson

Non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non

Mon cœur n´y tiendrait pas
De l´entendre, je le sais
Je me souviendrais qu´elle disait
Disait

Mais tu sais que tu mens

Mais tu sais que tu mens

Dans l´ombre où nos cœurs se parlaient

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.

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

“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.
