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"
I would've slipped off my jeans
And slipped on my heels
If I knew that I would see you
Yeah, this diamond ring, gets kinda loose
Gotta watch myself around you
Glad you finally said something
Cause it's been weighin' on my mind
And messin' with my life
I wonder should I feel guilty
But we've haven?t crossed that line
We ain't doin' nothin' wrong
Nothin' wrong as long as we keep it innocent
I'm just tryin' to have some fun
But baby you're drivin' me crazy
I ain't tryin' to make you crazy
For me it ain't much that fun
If we ain't doin' nothin' wrong
If you only knew
What you do to me
When you walk away
If I had chance, gave you a taste
Baby you'd be beggin' me to stay
Yeah, sometimes I wonder what it'd feel like
But I gotta good man, and I'm a damn good wife
And I don't wanna feel guilty
But it's getting awfully hard to believe
I'd never ask you
Would you leave the one you love
I'd never tell you
I want you so bad it hurts
I like the way you make me feel
Baby can we make it real
If we don?t make it real
Then we aint' doin' nothin' wrong
And slipped on my heels
If I knew that I would see you
Yeah, this diamond ring, gets kinda loose
Gotta watch myself around you
Glad you finally said something
Cause it's been weighin' on my mind
And messin' with my life
I wonder should I feel guilty
But we've haven?t crossed that line
We ain't doin' nothin' wrong
Nothin' wrong as long as we keep it innocent
I'm just tryin' to have some fun
But baby you're drivin' me crazy
I ain't tryin' to make you crazy
For me it ain't much that fun
If we ain't doin' nothin' wrong
If you only knew
What you do to me
When you walk away
If I had chance, gave you a taste
Baby you'd be beggin' me to stay
Yeah, sometimes I wonder what it'd feel like
But I gotta good man, and I'm a damn good wife
And I don't wanna feel guilty
But it's getting awfully hard to believe
I'd never ask you
Would you leave the one you love
I'd never tell you
I want you so bad it hurts
I like the way you make me feel
Baby can we make it real
If we don?t make it real
Then we aint' doin' nothin' wrong
