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"
Hey, hey, hey
Verse:
I met this girl down the block from me
Used to tell myself she was too hot for me
But then I saw her at the corner store
So I ran on over just to grab the door
I got her number, we started chillin', hey
We started buzzin', we got addicted
Now I, I'm the one she can't live without
I bet that's her right now
Chorus:
Shorty hittin' me up
Says she wanna re-up
Knows I got the best in town
'Cause when she get the shivers
She knows that I'll deliver
I'm the one that holds her down
She's about to break, break, break, break, break
And I won't let her wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
It's gettin' kinda late, late, late, late, late
And she just wanna shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake
Verse:
One day she started texting me
Asked if she could borrow that recipe
I told her: "Lovin' you is my specialty"
She said "Well give it up, up
Give it up, up"
When she's away, it's such a downer
And I miss her every time I'm not around her
'Cause she, she's the one I can't live without
I hope that's her right now
Chorus
Bridge:
I'm hooked on her
I must admit it
I'd do any, I'd do anything to get it
She hooked on me, a bad habit
She'd do any, she'd do anything to have it
When she calls, I know exactly what she wants from me
Yeah, anytime I hear my phone ringin'
Oohh, she wants to shake it with me
Chorus x2

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
I don't think the meaning is totally self explanatory because I think he is using a drug addiction metaphor for a thing he has with this girl. Some could think it was about drugs, and another about sex.
Eh, he doesn't really talk about her as a drug until the end.. And it's pretty self explanatory unless your like, a teeniebopper that doesn't really understand sex and stuff yet.. So I guess it depends :) but for thr most part it's not really about drugs.
obviously you dont know anything about drugs if you say its not about drugs. it seems to me its about ecstasy. he talks about buzzin and how she calls him to re up. im sorry but that is talking about rolling. the whole song tal;ks about drugs.
