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.
Walking through the fire, please don't let me go
Take me to the river, I need you to know
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
Hot in the kitchen like a thousand degrees
That's how I'm feeling when you're next to me
I got a fever, tell me, what did you do?
Temperature rising when I look at you, look at you
Subliminal, sex
Drippin' in, sweat
I'm losing my, breath
Look what I've, found
It's about to go, down
I want it right, now
Walking through the fire, please don't let me go
Take me to the river, I need you to know
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I got the matches, you got the gasoline
Light up the floor like it's Billie Jean
The way we're movin' by the end of the song
They're gonna have to pull the fire, fire alarm
Subliminal, sex
Drippin' in, sweat
I'm losing my, breath
Look what I've, found
It's about to go, down
I want it right, now
Walking through the fire, please don't let me go
Take me to the river, I need you to know
2 Chainz!
Everything hot like it's fresh off the grill
Million dollar grill look fresh on the hill
Plus I'm 6'5", she need to step in some heels
Before you step up in here you need to step up your gear
Wish a Lamborghini had four doors
From the corner store to the corridor
Me and my homie on the damn floor
White girl in the middle, looking like an Oreo
(I'm burnin' up)
Roof on fire, we can burn up
Turn up for what nigga turn up
Mother fucker must ain't learned
Back in the day used to down with a burn coat
(I'm burnin' up)
Light got the Lord on the top floor
In a Ford, wearin' Tom Ford
Walk in the club and her ass start clappin'
Tell shawty I want a encore
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
Take me to the river, I need you to know
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
I'm burnin' up
Come put me out
Come and put me out
Hot in the kitchen like a thousand degrees
That's how I'm feeling when you're next to me

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
