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"
Liar, liar
You never called
But I'll be just fine
Yeah, I'm fine
Sleep well
Well this never made much sense to me
So I sleep alone, yeah
'Cause you are the same as I always remembered
I'll always remember
Where was all your money?
(Where was all your money?)
You said where is all your money?
You like it more than ever
And I cannot stand this
Because you like it more than ever
It was just, just a goddamn mistake
(Stay)
Well stay at home
Because you're way too good at taking
Love is too much
I'll be just fine in here
(Stay)
Stay at home, because it's always the same
Darling, you fucked up
La la la la la la, oh oh
I guess I love to spend all my time
Yeah, up in my own brain
Because I can believe the words
Coming up out of your face
Where was all your money?
(Where was all your money?)
You said where is all your money?
Cause you like him more than ever
And I cannot stand this
Cause you like him more than ever
I guess they all knew
Somebody draw the sun
Those states made me distant
Oh, tell me it's always better
And tell me it's better
No
Well I can't believe you're still in the valley
No
Wasting away
I guess they
(It was just, just a goddamn mistake)
Got the best of me
And got your all
(Stay)
(Stay at home, cause you're way too good at taking)
I'm wasting away
I guess they...
(Love is too much but I'll be just fine in here)
(Stay)
(C'mon, stay at home, because it's always the same)
I'm wasting away
I guess they...
You never called
But I'll be just fine
Yeah, I'm fine
Sleep well
Well this never made much sense to me
So I sleep alone, yeah
'Cause you are the same as I always remembered
I'll always remember
Where was all your money?
(Where was all your money?)
You said where is all your money?
You like it more than ever
And I cannot stand this
Because you like it more than ever
It was just, just a goddamn mistake
(Stay)
Well stay at home
Because you're way too good at taking
Love is too much
I'll be just fine in here
(Stay)
Stay at home, because it's always the same
Darling, you fucked up
La la la la la la, oh oh
I guess I love to spend all my time
Yeah, up in my own brain
Because I can believe the words
Coming up out of your face
Where was all your money?
(Where was all your money?)
You said where is all your money?
Cause you like him more than ever
And I cannot stand this
Cause you like him more than ever
I guess they all knew

Oh, tell me it's always better

(Stay)

I'm wasting away
I guess they...

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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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 this song is about a guy who REALLY likes a girl, and she brings out the best in him and everything but it turns out that no matter how much he tries she likes that other guy, and maybe she was taking advantage of him? i dunno. its just a guess really =/. i don't get the money and the stealing parts though.
