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.
You ain't gotta act brand new, nah
Like you ain't been here before
You know you been here before girl
You ain't gotta act brand new, nah
I swear ain't a damn thing changed
I'mma put it on you like you're still my main, cause there
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't nothing like sexing with your ex
Ain't nothing like sexing with your ex
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm sexing with my ex
I'mma do you right, do you right
Sexing with my ex
Tonight I'm sexing with my ex
I'mma do you right, do you right
Sexing with my ex
[Verse 2]
5 O' clock and your moaning, and we ain't look back
And we both know this is wrong, and a whole lotta bad
And we swore on everything to never call or text
But how can we go on as friends when I know that
[Bridge]
There be some other guy that be lovin' my girl
Hands all over my baby
So how can you explain why you're creepin' and acting all shady
Got you biting the pillow while up in that thing
Cuh what he do ain't the same
Cause baby this ain't love that we make, no
[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I know we had a few problems, I wasn't always there
And I messed up one too many times
But what we always had, was a lotta second chances
For me to prove you wrong, to see where you belong
[Bridge] + [Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]
[Verse 1]
[Verse 4]
Yeah you still my main
Still the best with that brain
Still the one to drive me insane
Still the best in that game
Love a girl that'll know what to do with her mouth and won't hold back
Ain't talking 'bout fighting and all that
Shoulda made you my wifey 'fore that
So what we just sexing
A little late night drunk texting
Ain't nobody asking no questions
Pics blowing up my phone like you wanna let me know what I had with you back then
Girl I know you ain't the type to play the fool with
So I'mma just cut the bullshit
If you wanna just fuck let's do this
Like you ain't been here before
You know you been here before girl
You ain't gotta act brand new, nah
I swear ain't a damn thing changed
I'mma put it on you like you're still my main, cause there
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't nothing like sexing with your ex
Ain't nothing like sexing with your ex
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm sexing with my ex
I'mma do you right, do you right
Sexing with my ex
Tonight I'm sexing with my ex
I'mma do you right, do you right
Sexing with my ex
[Verse 2]
5 O' clock and your moaning, and we ain't look back
And we both know this is wrong, and a whole lotta bad
And we swore on everything to never call or text
But how can we go on as friends when I know that

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.
Yeah, you know…sometimes the only thing that will do is something or someone that you’ve already done!
