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"
For so long, I loved you so shamelessly
You were never sure if you really never wanted to fall
Inside out 'cause I thought you were the same as me, you were just joking
But I wasn't joking, 'cause I didn't know you at all
I wanna know
When will you be mine?
Step by step and we're checking out the sound effects
Are there pictures of skylab falling down where you are?
Neck and neck and it always had the same effect, you know I mean it
But you didn't mean it, so you didn't give me a call
I wanna know
When will you be mine?
Yes, I wanna know
When will you be mine?
'Cause I think about it all the time
And it's party time and we're check-check-checking out the scenery
And it's all inside 'til I find, find, find out what you mean to me
And it's party time time and we're check check checking out the scenery
Smoke-smoke-smoking all the cigarettes 'til you find, find, find out what it means to me
I wanna know
When will you be mine?
Yes, I wanna know
When will you be mine?
It's not party time
It's not party time
And I think about it all the time
You were never sure if you really never wanted to fall
Inside out 'cause I thought you were the same as me, you were just joking
But I wasn't joking, 'cause I didn't know you at all
I wanna know
When will you be mine?
Step by step and we're checking out the sound effects
Are there pictures of skylab falling down where you are?
Neck and neck and it always had the same effect, you know I mean it
But you didn't mean it, so you didn't give me a call
I wanna know
When will you be mine?
Yes, I wanna know
When will you be mine?
'Cause I think about it all the time
And it's party time and we're check-check-checking out the scenery
And it's all inside 'til I find, find, find out what you mean to me
And it's party time time and we're check check checking out the scenery
Smoke-smoke-smoking all the cigarettes 'til you find, find, find out what it means to me
I wanna know
When will you be mine?
Yes, I wanna know
When will you be mine?
It's not party time
It's not party time
And I think about it all the time

“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.

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.
