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 thought I told ya Imma a star
You see that ice
You see the cars
Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow
I thought I told you I'm a star
You see the ice?
You see the cars
Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow
I got money I don't need a range
I'm a pimp I don't need a cane
Big deals charlie you can keep the change
Now that I got the torch Imma gonna keep the flame
Imma keep my aim gotta make the big shots
In my latest suit Louvie V flip flops
Got a bad bitch her hair 'n' nails tip top
Jeremih got the game on the slipknot
Just before the stacks I got rubber bands
Consumers only want you to supply demand
So here I am check my DNA
Gettin money is the only thing on my resume
I thought I told ya Imma a star
You see that ice
You see the cars
Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow
I thought I told you I'm a star
You see the ice?
You see the cars
Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow
Like the dealership I got beaucoup cars
Penitentiary I keep beaucoup bars
Flow so hot ridin beaucoup large
Hollywood ground I got beaucoup stars
Don,t need Roger Ebert or the paparazzi
Take on and already the county stop me
I hit hella licks man hella stagin'
Hit the weed man so you get in touch with Mary Jane
You a Scorpio? Girl get over here
'N ride me all night life you kin to Paul Revere
Kissin' on my neck nibblin' on my ear
You say you wanna chill? Go head and have a beer
I thought I told ya Imma a star
You see that ice
You see the cars
Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow
I thought I told you I'm a star
You see the ice?
You see the cars
Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow
If you back it up shawty

If you back it up shawty

But only if you back it up
Everywhere we are oh oh
Flashy lights
Everywhere we are oh oh
Flashy lights
Everywhere we are, everywhere we are oh oh
Ok, now I be ballin', I I be I be ballin'
You can catch me in the air I be wallin'
When I'm tryin to buy some gear I be mallin'
In the middle of the club with one dollar you call
Its either the cameras flickin' or the pole is clockin'
Especially at the end of the night when its just not an option
Now they got the spotlight on me why they put that on me
Now I'm never lonely 'cus everywhere I go there is, flashy lights
Everywhere we are oh oh
Flashy lights
Everywhere we are oh oh
Flashy lights
Everywhere we are, everywhere we are oh oh
You see that ice
You see the cars

Flashy lights everywhere we are oh oh
Livin' life, there's no tomorrow

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
