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"
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
It was you that told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in memphis
It's hard just to be strong not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine you smile when you hear my songs
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
A letter home and I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to but I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
It was you that told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in memphis
It's hard just to be strong not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine you smile when you hear my songs
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
A letter home and I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to but I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
does the lyrixs refer to his mother or girlfriend?
Actually his grandfather, parents, and ben.<br /> <br /> Someone, Somewhere was the first time I've ever summoned the courage to truly open up in a song. However honest my music has always been, it's never shown complete, uncensored emotion until now. I was always very self-conscious when it came to talking about my feelings and opening up. It's really I guess the quintessence to all my defects as a person.<br /> <br /> This song was split into four sections; the first verse being for my granddad who passed away just before I moved out to the states to make Asking Alexandria what it is today, he was a great man and I've never really talked about it.<br /> <br /> The second verse is to my parents and family, with which contact is scarse at best! I am not, never have been, and probably never will be, any kind of close with them. There's no real feeling or connection, but I gave them fucking hell for the 16/17 years I lived with them.<br /> <br /> The third verse is to Ben, my guitarist and best friend. He saved me from the hell I was in and threw me into the hell I'm in now. Not much of a change, except now I'm overpaid and famous (woop!). It's he that is the reason I get to do what I do, so a bit of an arsehole I guess. He's my partner in crime and will be till I'm fucking dead!<br /> <br /> The last, is the chorus. A positive, yet painfully depressing reflection of my reality. Even when I'm at the bottom of the barrel, passed out with a bottle in my hand, a bill in my nose and a needle in my arm, that someone, somewhere, there's someone supporting me and loving me.<br /> <br /> I was also high on oxy when I wrote/recorded this and was pleasantly surprised with my vocal competence, considering I could barely stand up.<br /> <br /> facebook.com/note.php
