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"
You are so sexy my love
You got me trippin' over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean
But I mean it when I say
That I fell so hard for you
That it broke my heart in two
Now I'm wrapped in black and blue
You know I'm crazy 'bout ...
Should I take a chance
Or should I sit and wonder of you
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
Like a junkie to a rush
I'd trade my momma for your touch
Oh wait that might just be too much
Well I'd do anything but that
You are so tempting my dear
You strip away my useless fears
No you don't care that I'm weird
And that's amazing
As you walk on by
Oh I - I sit in wonder of you
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
Spinning around like nobody's watching
Nobody else but me
So far beyond my imagination
If they could only see
You are so sexy my love
You got me trippin' over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean
But I mean it when I say
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
You got me trippin' over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean
But I mean it when I say
That I fell so hard for you
That it broke my heart in two
Now I'm wrapped in black and blue
You know I'm crazy 'bout ...
Should I take a chance
Or should I sit and wonder of you
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
Like a junkie to a rush
I'd trade my momma for your touch
Oh wait that might just be too much
Well I'd do anything but that
You are so tempting my dear
You strip away my useless fears
No you don't care that I'm weird
And that's amazing
As you walk on by
Oh I - I sit in wonder of you
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
Spinning around like nobody's watching
Nobody else but me
So far beyond my imagination
If they could only see
You are so sexy my love
You got me trippin' over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean
But I mean it when I say
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go
I want to tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I want to tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never want to let you go

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
yay i'm the first comment! a-woohoo! obviously, people don't really like this song or something...but this song means a lot to me, although it is kinda cheesy...but hey! well this song is about a guy who has fallen for a girl really hard, but he doesn't wanna tell her because well, he is scared. they are probably really good friends, and he has fallen for her and so doesn't want to tell her incase of ruining the friendship. but he wants to shout it out to everybody about how amazing she is and how he feels when he's with her. i guess everyone can relate to it because at one point or another, everyone has felt like this. like the person they like is THE most amazing person in the world. you are so infatuated that you would do anything and like it says in the song, give up your mama for their touch! well i hope someone else quotes this...xx
