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"
Backing up stories what you talk, Earl's Court
Nickname like the Kangaroo Valley
From top to the bottom of the under-walk
Where boys fuck girls that they never will marry
You're happy as Larry to dill-dally
Dark alleys, back from the rallies
It's bullshit they say that you got no talent
Well pigs fucking fly and it ain't about oil
And Fox News has always been fair and balanced
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Dilly-dally past, you're the last fast man
To charge any money on your mobile phone
And it's all about this, understand man
We'll chat it like Dapper Dan 'cause Dan's always talking
Dan chats black, Buddy Holly ain't half of the money
Of the income that he makes down monthly
Through talking down on your mobile phone
While kiddie paints the town with the shilling, pence and pounds
It's illegal to think that you ain't fucking prone
To all of the bollocks that is chatting all around you
Sometimes it gets in your head and you can't get away from the feeling
That you're breaking on the ground
Breaking up no luck, stop like some fuck
Caught in a right rut, she looks like a right slut
You must lust, touch, 'cause you want so much
You look so shook but you're just man lovestruck
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Nickname like the Kangaroo Valley
From top to the bottom of the under-walk
Where boys fuck girls that they never will marry
You're happy as Larry to dill-dally
Dark alleys, back from the rallies
It's bullshit they say that you got no talent
Well pigs fucking fly and it ain't about oil
And Fox News has always been fair and balanced
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Dilly-dally past, you're the last fast man
To charge any money on your mobile phone
And it's all about this, understand man
We'll chat it like Dapper Dan 'cause Dan's always talking
Dan chats black, Buddy Holly ain't half of the money
Of the income that he makes down monthly
Through talking down on your mobile phone
While kiddie paints the town with the shilling, pence and pounds
It's illegal to think that you ain't fucking prone
To all of the bollocks that is chatting all around you
Sometimes it gets in your head and you can't get away from the feeling
That you're breaking on the ground
Breaking up no luck, stop like some fuck
Caught in a right rut, she looks like a right slut
You must lust, touch, 'cause you want so much
You look so shook but you're just man lovestruck
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
Lost in the crowd and you feel alone

@[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.

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.
This is a great song about feeling alone in new surroundings, or in a crowd.
Fox News' slogan is "Fair&Balanced" despite them being notoriously right-wing and biased.
"Buddy Holly" is a mixture of cocaine & ecstasy.
drfunk... just because you take offense to the fact that jonwood1 pointed out what everyone knows to be true doesn't mean you have to jump on their back. they never said whose side their on and don't go around posting things on a MUSIC websites when all you're looking for is political warfare.... :/
chill out drfunk...
where do u get this song???
jonwood1 did not present opinion.. but rather conjecture presented as fact. this is not the place to promote your casue or speak for others... also music and politics do go hand in hand
place it in the context of the song. mr. T is saying they present themselves as fair and balances tho they are pretty much to the right. well alot. so what he's saying is pretty much fact, no opinions here.
jonwood1... every single news agency is pandering to a particular audience be it right, left, black, or white. So you dont like fox news.. i suppose if someone asked you would tell them you prefer cnn or msnbc or abc.. cbs or nbc? all have been left wing biased. The new your times is notoriously left winged but you dont bother to point that out because it does not help your argument. The truth is they are all biased because they are selling something that generates ratings which attract big corp. to invest large adv dollars directed at a target market. If more people would rather get there news with a right winged point of view... well if your business is news i think you can figure out the rest. Dont be a schmuck and follow the cool trend of not thinking for yourself. think of news like you think of your cigarette... full of additives to make you want just one more. get a clue you moron.... :\
