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"
There's a ship out on the ocean at the mercy of the sea
It's been tossed about, lost and broken wandering aimlessly
And God somehow you know that ship is me
'Cause there's a light house, in a harbor shining faithfully,
Pouring its life out across the water, for this sinking soul in the sea
That someone out there still believes in me
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
There's a moment, that we all come to, in our own time, in our space
For all that we've done, we can undo if our heart's in the right place
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
And again I see my yesterdays in front of me, unfolding like a mystery,
Your changing all that is and used to be
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
When you come back to me again
It's been tossed about, lost and broken wandering aimlessly
And God somehow you know that ship is me
'Cause there's a light house, in a harbor shining faithfully,
Pouring its life out across the water, for this sinking soul in the sea
That someone out there still believes in me
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
There's a moment, that we all come to, in our own time, in our space
For all that we've done, we can undo if our heart's in the right place
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
And again I see my yesterdays in front of me, unfolding like a mystery,
Your changing all that is and used to be
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
When you come back to me again

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 love this song and the reason for loving the song is that it's so real it touches me and makes understand so much more that there's an angel guiding me through my storm I am facing and if I just keep holding on spiritually I'll be through and home safely... Mr.Garth Brooks thumbs up! To the writer and creator of "Frequency", great work. Excellent move... I'm glad I woke up and watch it.
