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"
Darkness bathes the city face.
It's something common to the human race.
Go about your normal lives,
Do whatever and pay no mind.
Just remember to look behind you.
Something sinister's about to unfold.
It happens every night, yet no one is told.
A lone stranger walks the streets below.
What happens next you don't wanna know.
They are everywhere.
I tried to warn you, but you don't care.
Soul Stalker is about to strike.
You don't believe me.
Why, exactly, I don't know.
All I want to do is help save your soul.
The formal warning is out,
And the rest is up to you
You can choose to make a difference
Or do what you always do.
But beware of the rulers of darkness,
For there is no mercy in them.
They'll rape your soul and mind
And try to take you down with them.
Here we come.
We're here to save you
From the evil clutches of the Dragon's fleet.
We are the hunters,
Ordained by the King of kings.
Our mission: spread the Word
And rid the world of evil things.
You go about your normal lives.
You do whatnot and you pay no mind.
It's a risk you would not take
If you knew the cost at stake.
It's a vicious cycle that never ends,
So we must stop it before it begins
It's something common to the human race.
Go about your normal lives,
Do whatever and pay no mind.
Just remember to look behind you.
Something sinister's about to unfold.
It happens every night, yet no one is told.
A lone stranger walks the streets below.
What happens next you don't wanna know.
They are everywhere.
I tried to warn you, but you don't care.
Soul Stalker is about to strike.
You don't believe me.
Why, exactly, I don't know.
All I want to do is help save your soul.
The formal warning is out,
And the rest is up to you
You can choose to make a difference
Or do what you always do.
But beware of the rulers of darkness,
For there is no mercy in them.
They'll rape your soul and mind
And try to take you down with them.
Here we come.
We're here to save you
From the evil clutches of the Dragon's fleet.
We are the hunters,
Ordained by the King of kings.
Our mission: spread the Word
And rid the world of evil things.
You go about your normal lives.
You do whatnot and you pay no mind.
It's a risk you would not take
If you knew the cost at stake.
It's a vicious cycle that never ends,
So we must stop it before it begins

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.
