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"
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
I don't want to wait anymore
Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
'Cause checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
I don't want to wait anymore
Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
'Cause checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone

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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think he is kissing her goodbye, he knows he's not goona see her anymore. And while kissing her, he can almost feel this bitter taste of departure.
