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"
I was sucking on a cigarette
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies for the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Why don't we try it again now
But my heart won't sing
Until that story's all been told
Yeah she buckled her spine, tattered my soul boy
Oh ain't that a wonder
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna be a better way
I'm still lying in the muck
And mucking down with you
Did you see this girl
Look, oh, never never
Can I stay here forever? ?
Never, never, never you mind
I'll find it somewhere over the railings
Oh, but didn't I always say
There's gonna be a better way
Oh, I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
I was sucking on a straight
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies from the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna to be a better way
Oh oh oh
And I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
Lying in the muck now
Mucking down baby with you
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies for the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Why don't we try it again now
But my heart won't sing
Until that story's all been told
Yeah she buckled her spine, tattered my soul boy
Oh ain't that a wonder
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna be a better way
I'm still lying in the muck
And mucking down with you
Did you see this girl
Look, oh, never never
Can I stay here forever? ?
Never, never, never you mind
I'll find it somewhere over the railings
Oh, but didn't I always say
There's gonna be a better way
Oh, I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
I was sucking on a straight
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies from the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna to be a better way
Oh oh oh
And I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
Lying in the muck now
Mucking down baby with you

reckon its about carl and pete again.. in an interview somewhere pete said kids are being used as pennis for the slot machines. i reckon pete and carl being in this band suddenly people like them people buy their records etc Why don't we try it again now? maybe after the first time they half split up and then reminding themselves that they always said there would be a better day or something bejg
