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.
We hit the room, me and my crew and it was cool, until we bumped into you now it's been years, but there you were like a mustang, redlinin' every single gear with a man that danced like he was born in '49, but lost his groove back when jesus died I want to know, are those replacement hips? is that a swatch watch? do you know what time it is?
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
We hit a couch, the place was packed with sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs my mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to ignite your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did I now you know that I took that prize in the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club now tell me!
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby
What did I do? what did I say? that gave you away tell me what didn't I do, what didn't I say that sent you away from me
I wait for you to take my I wait for you to take my hand
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy, I'm just a jealous guy, come on!
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
We hit a couch, the place was packed with sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs my mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to ignite your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did I now you know that I took that prize in the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club now tell me!
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby
What did I do? what did I say? that gave you away tell me what didn't I do, what didn't I say that sent you away from me
I wait for you to take my I wait for you to take my hand
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy, I'm just a jealous guy, come on!

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.
A lot of Live songs have a sexual meaning behind them but this one is the most in your face. The lyrics are pretty self explainitory. He meets and ex girl and obviously they get it on right there in the club and hes asking if her new man runs it deep enough for her.
