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've been knowin' you
You've been knowin' me
But I ain't took the chance to
Tell you what I want
Girl its been too long
And I can't go on
Can't be actin' like I don't care
Cause I rolled with you
I grew up with you
My momma used to sit you
When your moms weren't home
Always friends with you
Never stepped to you
But now its time that I
Start makin' love to you
Time passes by
For more than a lifetime
I want to be yours girl
I would give up my life
To spend just one night with you
Cause my love don't stop
I can't lie you bring out the best in me
I got's to be yours girl
I would give up my life
There's nothin' that I won't do
Cause my love don't stop
There's a part of me that wants us to be
Just the way we are
So we don't mess things up
But its killin' me
Cause the rest of me
Wants to feel your body baby
Wants to tear it up
I'll do some things to you
No one else can do
Cause maybe I'm the one
To make you feel real good
Bein' friends is cool
But now its time that I
Start makin' love to you
Girl its been so long
I know it can't be wrong
Cause there's never been
No one but you
And girl there never will
You won't go back no more
There's no one disguised
Can't be yours despite
Girl I've watched you
Get hurt too many times
But I can make you
All I can do
To show you how I'm gonna love you
You've been knowin' me
But I ain't took the chance to
Tell you what I want
Girl its been too long
And I can't go on
Can't be actin' like I don't care
Cause I rolled with you
I grew up with you
My momma used to sit you
When your moms weren't home
Always friends with you
Never stepped to you
But now its time that I
Start makin' love to you
Time passes by
For more than a lifetime
I want to be yours girl
I would give up my life
To spend just one night with you
Cause my love don't stop
I can't lie you bring out the best in me
I got's to be yours girl
I would give up my life
There's nothin' that I won't do
Cause my love don't stop
There's a part of me that wants us to be
Just the way we are
So we don't mess things up
But its killin' me
Cause the rest of me
Wants to feel your body baby
Wants to tear it up
I'll do some things to you
No one else can do
Cause maybe I'm the one
To make you feel real good
Bein' friends is cool
But now its time that I
Start makin' love to you
Girl its been so long
I know it can't be wrong
Cause there's never been
No one but you
And girl there never will
You won't go back no more
There's no one disguised
Can't be yours despite
Girl I've watched you
Get hurt too many times
But I can make you
All I can do
To show you how I'm gonna love you
