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"
Once upon a time, you were a friend of mine,
We used to sing songs, all night long,
And I trusted you, everything you said was true
Now I can't get through to you, something's wrong
There's a thin white line
separating yours and mine,
You want me to believe everything is fine,
And the cow jumped over the moon.
I guess superman was right,
Some people need their kryptonite,
They gotta have something, to take them away
I dont know where you're going to,
But I know I cant go there with you,
The thin white line, as turned into a wall.
There's a thin white line
separating yours and mine,
You want me to believe everything is fine,
And the cow jumped over the moon.
Round trip tickets take you back to where you started,
It's hard to start again.
One way tickets mean ya gotta go somewhere,
Every lines gotta end.
Once upon a time, you were a friend of mine,
We used to sing songs, all night long.
And I lost you, just another friend it cost you
The thin white line, as turned into a wall.
There's a thin white line
separating yours and mine,
You want me to believe everything is fine,
And the cow jumped over the moon.
And the cow jumped over the moon.
You want me to believe everything is fine....
We used to sing songs, all night long,
And I trusted you, everything you said was true
Now I can't get through to you, something's wrong
There's a thin white line
separating yours and mine,
You want me to believe everything is fine,
And the cow jumped over the moon.
I guess superman was right,
Some people need their kryptonite,
They gotta have something, to take them away
I dont know where you're going to,
But I know I cant go there with you,
The thin white line, as turned into a wall.
There's a thin white line
separating yours and mine,
You want me to believe everything is fine,
And the cow jumped over the moon.
Round trip tickets take you back to where you started,
It's hard to start again.
One way tickets mean ya gotta go somewhere,
Every lines gotta end.
Once upon a time, you were a friend of mine,
We used to sing songs, all night long.
And I lost you, just another friend it cost you
The thin white line, as turned into a wall.
There's a thin white line
separating yours and mine,
You want me to believe everything is fine,
And the cow jumped over the moon.
And the cow jumped over the moon.
You want me to believe everything is fine....

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
