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"
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
Oh, thinking about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now (over now)
You keep me coming back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe (believe)
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven (we're in heaven)
Now, nothing could change what you mean to me, oh
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now (hold me now)
'Cause our love will light the way
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven (heaven)
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you (we're in heaven)
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
We're in heaven
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
Oh, thinking about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now (over now)
You keep me coming back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe (believe)
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven (we're in heaven)
Now, nothing could change what you mean to me, oh
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now (hold me now)
'Cause our love will light the way
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven (heaven)
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you (we're in heaven)
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
We're in heaven

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.
