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"
Your mission is set
You've only two hours, 'fore everything is lost
And swallowed by light
So do this with care
But don't waste your time
'Cause this is all we've got
You're making time
You've got the cure
But the virus by your side
You wait 'til it's right
Then you strike
And you bring out all you've got
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To balance pressure
But you're slow
And you're jealous like a child
Breaking up things that found a way
To dream forever
Get your gun
'Cause the flock is flying in
You're dress is nice
Casual, but then strangely elegant
You're eyes are wide
You got them once
Got them twice
Now three's the charm
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To balance pressure
But you're slow
And you're jealous like a child
Breaking up things that found a way
To dream forever
Get your gun
'Cause the flock is flying in
I'm watching you now
You're right in my sight
Supposed to take you out
And end this tonight
But given this thought
It's harder to fire
'Cause you don't have a clue
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To balance pressure
But you're slow
And you're jealous like a child
Breaking up things that found a way
To dream forever
Get your gun
'Cause the flock is flying in
Coming
You've only two hours, 'fore everything is lost
And swallowed by light
So do this with care
But don't waste your time
'Cause this is all we've got
You're making time
You've got the cure
But the virus by your side
You wait 'til it's right
Then you strike
And you bring out all you've got
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To balance pressure
But you're slow
And you're jealous like a child
Breaking up things that found a way
To dream forever
Get your gun
'Cause the flock is flying in
You're dress is nice
Casual, but then strangely elegant
You're eyes are wide
You got them once
Got them twice
Now three's the charm
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To balance pressure
But you're slow
And you're jealous like a child
Breaking up things that found a way
To dream forever
Get your gun
'Cause the flock is flying in
I'm watching you now
You're right in my sight
Supposed to take you out
And end this tonight
But given this thought
It's harder to fire
'Cause you don't have a clue
Maybe someday you'll find a way
To balance pressure
But you're slow
And you're jealous like a child
Breaking up things that found a way
To dream forever
Get your gun
'Cause the flock is flying in
Coming
