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'm motionless, and love stands still apart from all the rest
And you're the only one who hears my voice
Apologies were spoken underneath the harvest trees
While our dreams fell down like autumn leaves
Its getting hard to pick myself up off the ground this time
And your willingness never seems to change my mind
And I'm falling into your arms again
I'm thinking that I should put my trust in him
Do you remember November twenty-second?
I could see your breath but your heart was vaguing
Maybe this is what I need, some uncertainty
But if I let it go, I could be risking everything
there's no day like today...
there's no day like today...
And your drifting far away...
And it's tearing me..and it's tearing me..
It's tearing me apart...
I'ts getting hard to pick myself up off the ground this time
And your willingness never seems to change my mind
And I'm running into your arms again
I'm thinking that I should put my trust in him
And you're the only one who hears my voice
Apologies were spoken underneath the harvest trees
While our dreams fell down like autumn leaves
Its getting hard to pick myself up off the ground this time
And your willingness never seems to change my mind
And I'm falling into your arms again
I'm thinking that I should put my trust in him
Do you remember November twenty-second?
I could see your breath but your heart was vaguing
Maybe this is what I need, some uncertainty
But if I let it go, I could be risking everything
there's no day like today...
there's no day like today...
And your drifting far away...
And it's tearing me..and it's tearing me..
It's tearing me apart...
I'ts getting hard to pick myself up off the ground this time
And your willingness never seems to change my mind
And I'm running into your arms again
I'm thinking that I should put my trust in 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.
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.
i somewhat agree with you, He was feeling empty and he did trust this person but i think the person is God. I can relate to this song just because i know how hard it is to be a christian and how hard it is to try and pick yourself up off the ground and God's willingness, as much as we should listen to him most of the time we dont, it never seems to change my mind, but we should put our trust in him.
