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"
[Intro]
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
I get so emotional
Whenever I touch you, whenever we kiss
I get so emotional
You're so beautiful, yeah
[Verse 1]
You do to many, whatever it is you do to me
You make the whole world stop
And stand still (And stand still)
Now everytime I see you walking by
I can see the reason why you're special to me
I thank God every day
Every time I see your pretty face
[Chorus]
I get so emotional
Whenever I touch you, whenever we kiss
Girl, it's so physical
Whenever you're around, I can't resist
It's so sexual
Whenever you do that thing with your lips
I get so emotional
You're so beautiful, yeah
[Verse 2]
Incense and candles
Flowers and slow jams
Champagne and cherries
Acoustic serenades
Girl, you're all those things
To my life, this is what you bring
Nights of passion, days of joy
Girl, you're all I want and more
[Chorus]
I'll give you everything you want, lady
I'll give you everything you need, baby
I'll give you anything you want, baby

I'll give you everything
I'll give you anything you want, lady
I'll give you everything you need, baby

You're so sexy, you're so sweet
Girl you got just what I need
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
I get so emotional
Whenever I touch you, whenever we kiss
I get so emotional
You're so beautiful, yeah
[Verse 1]
You do to many, whatever it is you do to me
You make the whole world stop
And stand still (And stand still)
Now everytime I see you walking by

Every time I see your pretty face
[Chorus]
