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"
You make me feel so young
You make me feel as though spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy in-div-dual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide and seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I are just like a couple of tots
Runnin' across the meadow
Pickin' up lots of forget me nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are
Songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
And a wonderful spring to be sprung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young
You make me feel as though spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy in-div-dual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide and seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I are just like a couple of tots
Runnin' across the meadow
Pickin' up lots of forget me nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are
Songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
And a wonderful spring to be sprung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young

Magical

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.
Page

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.
