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.
I've seen you on the silver screen
And I've seen you in the daytime
I see you everywhere I go
And I see you in my dreams
And then I see you talking to your wife
And I see you holding your child
And I see you everywhere I go
And I see you, and I see you, but they all know
Hey, hey, hey
That you're one of them
Hey, hey, hey
We're having so much fun
Hey, hey, hey
Why did nobody tell me
Hey, hey, hey
That you're a
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Yes, you, heartbreaker
I know I'm young
And I know you're old
I know I'm old
And I know you're young
But we have so many stories untold
And the way you move
And the way you tilt your head
And all I want is to
Crawl back in with you
But they all said
Hey, hey, hey
Because they all knew
That you're one of them
Hey, hey, hey
We were having so much fun
Hey, hey, hey
But you're a
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Another victim to your touch
Another fairy tale
But the way you move, the way you move, the way
And all I want to do is
And all I want to do is
And all I want to do is
Yes, all I want to do is
And don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my little heart
Don't you break my little heart
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
Hey, heartbreaker
And I've seen you in the daytime
I see you everywhere I go
And I see you in my dreams
And then I see you talking to your wife
And I see you holding your child
And I see you everywhere I go
And I see you, and I see you, but they all know
Hey, hey, hey
That you're one of them
Hey, hey, hey
We're having so much fun
Hey, hey, hey
Why did nobody tell me
Hey, hey, hey

And the way you move
And the way you tilt your head
And all I want is to

Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my little heart
Don't you break my little heart

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
"Hey! Heartbreaker” is a song truly written on the road, in front of a live audience, ever growing and ever changing. It first came to fruition during that fabled Canada Tour that you’ll often hear us mention. But now this song gets to live out it’s destiny in this full on fantasy recording; pumped up, wild and we don’t know about you but we just can’t sit still."
