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"
driving my black comforted through the eyes of the mensch in cold germany
when foot down is not even an option
and the old Europe is not the issue when somehow where you are you must be celebrating big time
big holiday with your people right now
with all the terminators who should be running for governors
and maybe you would come to live with me in California
and I'm just down on my broken knees on some dumb ferryboat you see
not even praying to the son of man, as they say
but still hoping that at some point I'd be waking up in my dreams
and you'd be holding my left arm and asking me, david are you alright?
oh what's the matter baby? Oh whatever you want and I'd be listening looking through your beautiful eyes
and I'd be listening looking through your beautiful eyes
and I'd be listening looking through your beautiful eyes
and I'd be listening looking through your beautiful eyes
and I'd be listening looking through your beautiful eyes
there's calvin Johnson in the backseat then he complains about the car
as the radio just skips from Justin to Justin
and I start thinking that if I made it platinum this year
with mas cambios or some stuff we're recording in Brooklyn then
there would be tons of girls harassing me, not only jesus freaks or junkies
and you'd be dying to come on tour with me and you would ask me
and I would tell you that I already have another roadie, yeah
but that'd be just more fun 'cause I'd do anything to make you happy and I would never ever ever hurt you baby
and I would never ever ever hurt you baby
and I would never ever ever hurt you baby
and I would never ever ever hurt you baby
and I would never ever ever hurt you baby
I took some pictures for a website and your sister she went online
and then she called me to tell me that I looked pretty tired
but I've never needed any sleep and all I need is you in my life and I was sad and I had cried 'cause I thought that maybe baby you would have stopped loving me
but then you went, this would never ever happen baby
this would never ever happen baby
this would never ever happen baby
this would never ever happen baby yeah
when foot down is not even an option
and the old Europe is not the issue when somehow where you are you must be celebrating big time

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
super adorable!
