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"
Here is a lesson, stop trying to impress them, the look on her face is like no, no no no no
Question answer Question, No question answer question, no one cares who you know know know know know know
Here is a lesson stop trying to impress them, the look on her face is like no no no no no no
Know who you are before you claim you're a star, for now we are all just like no no no and no
And all you've said to me
Has left me with anxiety.
Let's just keep this underneath.
You speak of me in disbelief.
This ain't no fuckin day job
I don't just sit around
Counting all my money
This is how you go out
I don't just sit around
Counting all my money
This how you go out
You go out like a bang
I envision your brain like a crashing car
The cable it just snaps holding up the elevator
This ain't no fuckin day job
I don't just sit around
This is how you go out you go out like a bang
Here is a lesson, stop trying to impress them, the look on her face is like no, no no no no
Question answer Question, No question answer question, no one cares who you know know know know know know
Here is a lesson stop trying to impress them, the look on her face is like no no no no no no
Know who you are before you claim you're a star, for now we are all just like no no no and no
Hello my name is Jon fucking Mess
I wrote the script on getting you out of your dress
Would you like to go out sometime
Ill tear open your body and breakdown your emotional guard
Cause I like love and its no good to me if you don't reciprocate the feeling, if you don't give back im crushed ill go out drinking
Question answer Question, No question answer question, no one cares who you know know know know know know
Here is a lesson stop trying to impress them, the look on her face is like no no no no no no
Know who you are before you claim you're a star, for now we are all just like no no no and no

Has left me with anxiety.
Let's just keep this underneath.
You speak of me in disbelief.
This ain't no fuckin day job
I don't just sit around
Counting all my money
This is how you go out

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”
