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"
Come back my dear
Come back and make my world again
Your voice so clear
Your voice reminds me of a friend
You had a heart like a hero
You sang a song that only I could ever know
Where would I be without you, where would I be?
How could the softest heart be separated by the word 'goodbye'?
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in miracles, but never let them help
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself
There's no denial
You brought the world a little love
And fought each mile,
And fought the fight more than my love
It was so much bigger than a cure
It wasn't bigger than a heart that isn't sure
Where would I be without you, where would I be?
How could the softest heart be separated by the word 'goodbye'?
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in miracles, but never let them help
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself
I wish I could (I wish I could) give what you gave to me
I wish I said (I wish I said), "please don't leave (please don't leave). Please don't leave. Please don't leave me."
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in miracles, but never let them help, whoa
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in her, never in her, never in herself.
Come back and make my world again
Your voice so clear
Your voice reminds me of a friend
You had a heart like a hero
You sang a song that only I could ever know
Where would I be without you, where would I be?
How could the softest heart be separated by the word 'goodbye'?
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in miracles, but never let them help
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself
There's no denial
You brought the world a little love
And fought each mile,
And fought the fight more than my love
It was so much bigger than a cure
It wasn't bigger than a heart that isn't sure
Where would I be without you, where would I be?
How could the softest heart be separated by the word 'goodbye'?
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in miracles, but never let them help
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself
I wish I could (I wish I could) give what you gave to me
I wish I said (I wish I said), "please don't leave (please don't leave). Please don't leave. Please don't leave me."
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in Heaven, yeah
She believed in everybody else
She believed in miracles, but never let them help, whoa
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
Honey, honey take my heart like money and run
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in her, never in her, never in herself.

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
OMG!! I can't believe no one has commented on this song... this songs is one of the best songs by ACOP..i really like it. i heared thissong when it came out but idk why i didn't comment. this song is about a girl not believen i herself i guess.. :)
Agreed great song. Underrated band. This is a song about someone who really is special and shows how special she was when she spoke of others, but the feeling never translated through herself.
"She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself"...
When I first listened to this song the whole chorus, but especially this line, reminded me so much of myself...
As a transgender girl I have the transition process ahead of me. I also have several trans friends that I've met through message boards and chats and the like. But I see more potential and fewer roadblocks ahead of them and I think my challenges are insurmountable and that I should just give up. I don't think I should now.
This song is just really inspiring for me.
some of the lyrics suggest that its about the race for the cure
idk i love this song
