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"
Spare me the suspense
Spare me the suspense
I got no currency, but I'm heaven sent
So spare me the suspense
Just spare me the suspense
Hey Lady Rain, I so hope you try; you're late
Babe, you know it's your time
And I won't let you sit by, so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night
We should dance like two fucking twins
Just spare me the suspense
There are seven ancient pawn shops along the way
And there're seven aching daddies you may want to know
Ooo, right on
Hey Lady Rain, oh baby, I can't deny
I got a taste, a taste, a taste, and it's time
But I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night
It's enough with this fucking incense
Just spare me the suspense
There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
Oh, I know seven aging daddies you may want to know
When you played your heart out, it made me turn around
Ooo, right on
Wait, and you froze in the night
You're late, there's a hole in the sky
No haste, no lesson, no lie
I got a taste that I can't deny
(Spare me the suspense)
And you wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
(Spare me the suspense)
You wait till you know that it's time
You say that I'm sent from God, do you know
You said that I'm sent from God?
Spare me the suspense
I got no currency, but I'm heaven sent
So spare me the suspense
Just spare me the suspense
Hey Lady Rain, I so hope you try; you're late
Babe, you know it's your time
And I won't let you sit by, so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night
We should dance like two fucking twins
Just spare me the suspense
There are seven ancient pawn shops along the way
And there're seven aching daddies you may want to know
Ooo, right on
Hey Lady Rain, oh baby, I can't deny
I got a taste, a taste, a taste, and it's time
But I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch night
It's enough with this fucking incense
Just spare me the suspense
There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
Oh, I know seven aging daddies you may want to know
When you played your heart out, it made me turn around
Ooo, right on
Wait, and you froze in the night
You're late, there's a hole in the sky
No haste, no lesson, no lie
I got a taste that I can't deny
(Spare me the suspense)
And you wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
You wait till you know that it's time
(Spare me the suspense)
You wait till you know that it's time
You say that I'm sent from God, do you know
You said that I'm sent from God?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
ohhh..this song is amazingggg..
