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"
My Mother works so hard
She works so late
Oh Mother, take it easy
You work so hard
You might be late to your own party
When you leave me, it's not fair
It's not fair
Hit you with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
And I'm going to kill you
If you dare to hit me with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
Etcetera whatever
Oh my Father, Father I love you so
I love you so
I 've got parts of your body
I love you so
You're never late to your own party
When you leave me, it's not fair
When you leave me, it's not fair
When you leave me, it's not fair
When you leave me, it's not fair
Don't give me more than I want
Don't give me more than I want
Don't give me more than I want
I will just take what I've got
Don't give me what you want
Mother, I love you so, I love you so
I've got parts of your father, and Dorrigo
And now I know that if I had a brother
He would know, He would know
But all I've got's a sister
She lives below, she lives below
She lives below your home
How I love you
Hit you with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
And I'm going to kill you
If you dare to hit me with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
Better late than never
Your own party
(Repeat to End)
She works so late
Oh Mother, take it easy
You work so hard
You might be late to your own party
When you leave me, it's not fair
It's not fair
Hit you with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
And I'm going to kill you
If you dare to hit me with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
Etcetera whatever
Oh my Father, Father I love you so
I love you so
I 've got parts of your body
I love you so
You're never late to your own party
When you leave me, it's not fair
When you leave me, it's not fair
When you leave me, it's not fair
When you leave me, it's not fair
Don't give me more than I want
Don't give me more than I want
Don't give me more than I want
I will just take what I've got
Don't give me what you want
Mother, I love you so, I love you so
I've got parts of your father, and Dorrigo
And now I know that if I had a brother
He would know, He would know
But all I've got's a sister
She lives below, she lives below
She lives below your home
How I love you
Hit you with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
And I'm going to kill you
If you dare to hit me with a feather
Miss you by a whisker
Better late than never
Your own party
(Repeat to End)

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
Hey guys, I just attempted to figure out these lyrics by ear. There's a high chance that some of these are wrong, so if they are, just pm me and I will fix them asap.
Love the catchiness of this song, not too sure what it's actually about :)
