This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Can I touch you, are you out of touch
I guess I never noticed that much
Geranium lover, I'm live on your wire
Oh come and take me whoever you are
She's a lot like you
The dangerous type
She's a lot like you
Come on and hold me tight
Oh inside angel, always upset
Keeps on forgettin' that we ever met
Can I bring you out in the light
My curiosity's got me tonight
She's a lot like you
The dangerous type
Oh she's a lot like you
Come on and hold me tight
Museum directors with high shaking heads
They kick white shadows until they play dead
They want to crack your crossword smile
Oh can I take you out for awhile, yeah
She's a lot like you
The dangerous type

Come on and hold me tight

The Dangerous Type is a Woman - a beatiful woman that has a dual personality- A Gemini- A Good Side and an Dark Side. You Love the Good Side of Her, but the Dangerous type pop's up and you find your lady in bed with two men and three women having an orgy. So what do you do? She has a freak on- that is very dangerous. Cher is like that. But I hope both twins learn to be Good in the end!
@Prophet2005 <br /> Prophet's reply was the closest to what I was thinking, though most people may not see this unless they have some experience with it.<br /> <br /> Going a bit beyond the idea of a dual, or split personality, the present day title for what used to be referred to as multiple personality disorder is 'Dissociative Identity Disorder'. The person I'm familiar with exists as 'a community of people'. <br /> Only one is ever truly present at a time, but each has their own name, age, self described 'actual appearance' (hair/eye color) etc. <br /> One in particular is the most happy-go-lucky person I know, easy to get along with, and fun to be with. Others, not so much sometimes.<br /> <br /> -Can I touch you, are you out of touch: Only one personality can be present<br /> <br /> -I Guess I never noticed that much: I have to ask for names. They all look the same (obviously) and in most ways, act the same. Any would respond to the person's 'real' name and not correct you.<br /> -Come and take me, whoever you are: Kinda self explanatory<br /> -Oh inside Angel, always upset: could be 'inside' her head not, 'indoors'<br /> -Keeps on forgetting that we ever met: yeah. That happens.<br /> -Can I bring you out in the light: can 'happy go lucky' girl come out?<br /> <br /> my 2 cents :)
