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"
oint the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired
Of the ride (it never stops)
This word is worth then my life {than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peace for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me saying
That I'm the cause of all their crime
And when they're drunk
I pour the wine
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
Well say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us
And take what is ours
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Take me far from
This less than perfect design
My contributions only go so far
Without monetary game for my heart
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Running with the scissors pointed at your heart from your hand
Ss that your plan?
I don't have time for questions concerning your future position
Lets leave this place (if all that was this time)
To say that we escaped (decisions that were mine)
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Put on your coat (it's time to go [x2])
Decemary is what i want
Taking every inch too
Loosing pressure is not a choice
When I'm running with you
Giving up the fight
I could never stop
It is dedication
My gift to you
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired
Of the ride (it never stops)
This word is worth then my life {than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peace for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me saying
That I'm the cause of all their crime
And when they're drunk
I pour the wine
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
Well say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us
And take what is ours
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Take me far from
This less than perfect design
My contributions only go so far
Without monetary game for my heart
Lets leave this place
To say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of friends that we have made
So they can find us and take what is ours
Running with the scissors pointed at your heart from your hand
Ss that your plan?
I don't have time for questions concerning your future position
Lets leave this place (if all that was this time)
To say that we escaped (decisions that were mine)
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight

Put on your coat (it's time to go [x2])

I could never stop
It is dedication
My gift to you

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

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 song...I know this sounds very vague, but to me it seems like it's about indecision and being excluded. Seems it's about a couple who are wanting to leave a group of people behind because that group is blaming one or both of them for their troubles. But there's probably a more accurate meaning to it. Anyway, when I listen to it, it sounds like:
"peaceful passing" instead of "peace for passing"
Both phrases seem to work well in the context of the song but that's just what it sounds like to me.
It sounds like he says "plans that we have made" during the chorus rather than "friends we have made" but again, either meaning works.
Lastly, in the 2nd/final chorus you should probably list the entire backing vocals on at lesat one of those, so basically jsut add "(The finger and the gun)" after "We'll leave no trace" and "(To be the only one)" after "of plans/friends that we have made". Other than that, looks good.
