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"
Daniel broke the king's decree
Peter stepped from the ship to the sea
There was hope for Job like a cut down tree
I hope that there's such hope for me
Dust beyond my mind's conceptions
And anything I thought I knew
Each word of my lips' description
And on all that I compare to You
The preference of the sun was
To the south side of the farm
I planted to the north in a terracotta pot
Blind as I'd become, I used to wonder where you are
These days I can't find where you're not
Mine's a yard, surface tended
Foxes burrowed underground
Gardening so well, self-recommended
What could I have done but let you down?
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
Mind's a story, dimly remembered
And by the time it's told, halfway true
Of bad behavior well engendered
What good is each good thing we think we do?
Daniel broke the king's decree
Peter stepped from the ship to the sea
There was hope for Job like a cut down tree
I only hope that there's such hope for me
Find a friend and stay close and with a melting heart
Tell them whatever you're most ashamed of
Our parents have made so many mistakes
But may we forgive them and forgive ourselves
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
Peter stepped from the ship to the sea
There was hope for Job like a cut down tree
I hope that there's such hope for me
Dust beyond my mind's conceptions
And anything I thought I knew
Each word of my lips' description
And on all that I compare to You
The preference of the sun was
To the south side of the farm
I planted to the north in a terracotta pot
Blind as I'd become, I used to wonder where you are
These days I can't find where you're not
Mine's a yard, surface tended
Foxes burrowed underground
Gardening so well, self-recommended
What could I have done but let you down?
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
The sun and the moon
I want to see both worlds as One
Mind's a story, dimly remembered
And by the time it's told, halfway true
Of bad behavior well engendered
What good is each good thing we think we do?

The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes
The sun and the moon are my Father's eyes

@[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 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.

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

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.
maybe the "see the world as one" means in faith? instead of people sinning, and satan, only see christianity. the people united as one through Jesus.
just a thought.
I definetly think the sun and the moon are good and bad. God's loving eye, God's punishing eye.
