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 float into the room, a ruffled feather
A hint of your perfume is a comely tether
Give back my heart you stole
Chased down the rabbit hole
It's undebatable, we come together,
We come together, we come together
Baby could we spend a month here tonight?
'Til we both are painted by morning light
Whoever made you must've had a talent for high design!
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
I'd wait around with you for worse or better
But our halcyon days are few, it's now or never
The writing's on the wall
If I can't walk I will crawl
You rise above them all, we come together.
We come together, we come together
Well I think that maybe I've seen too much
You come around and dammit! I'm out of touch.
Now I see you, and I need you on repeat, all the time
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
Baby could we spend a month here tonight?
'Til we both are painted by morning light
Whoever made you must've had a talent for high design!
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
When I think that maybe I've seen too much
You come around and dammit! I'm out of touch.
Now I see you, and I need you on repeat, all the time
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Now I see you, and I need you all for me, all the time
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
A hint of your perfume is a comely tether
Give back my heart you stole
Chased down the rabbit hole
It's undebatable, we come together,
We come together, we come together
Baby could we spend a month here tonight?
'Til we both are painted by morning light
Whoever made you must've had a talent for high design!
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
I'd wait around with you for worse or better
But our halcyon days are few, it's now or never
The writing's on the wall
If I can't walk I will crawl
You rise above them all, we come together.
We come together, we come together
Well I think that maybe I've seen too much
You come around and dammit! I'm out of touch.
Now I see you, and I need you on repeat, all the time
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
Baby could we spend a month here tonight?
'Til we both are painted by morning light
Whoever made you must've had a talent for high design!
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
When I think that maybe I've seen too much
You come around and dammit! I'm out of touch.
Now I see you, and I need you on repeat, all the time
How in the world did you get to be so fine?
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Now I see you, and I need you all for me, all the time
How in the world did you get to be so fine?

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
