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.
When we first met I never knew
How much my mind would think of you
I guess you really caught my eye
You make me feel so good inside
The feelings I have when you are near
I need your touch I'm waiting to hear
And it seems to be good to be true
I think I'm really falling for you
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
You make me smile each and every day
All of my problems fade away
Can't you see how you make me feel
Is this a game or are you for real?
So kiss me now and hold me tight
your body feels so good tonight
Yes I will never forget
he very first time that we met
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
How much my mind would think of you
I guess you really caught my eye
You make me feel so good inside
The feelings I have when you are near
I need your touch I'm waiting to hear
And it seems to be good to be true
I think I'm really falling for you
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
You make me smile each and every day
All of my problems fade away
Can't you see how you make me feel
Is this a game or are you for real?
So kiss me now and hold me tight
your body feels so good tonight
Yes I will never forget
he very first time that we met
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide
Your Always on my Mind
I'm thinking about you all the time
Your Always on my Mind
These feelings I have are hard to hide

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.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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

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.
