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"
Charming, you's a challenge
You've got these strings attached like bondage
For you I'll bring the holy house down
We'll get some peace and help our sorrows drown
Lay at the altar with me
Let's live deviantly
Maybe through you I can find God
Don't tell me that you love me
It seems so final that you love me
Even the blind see
It looks better when there's mystery
Can't lay my hands on you
It'd be selfish it's true
'cause healing you could heal me too
Wrong is right come Sunday morning
We'll see the light come Sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come Sunday morning
Sunday Sunday
Invade my space invade my mind
Your intervention is so divine
Daddy I'm diggin' on your dark side
No more fingerprints on you that aren't mine
Can you de-program me
Help I need somebody
Everything I see I do I taste is part of you
Wrong is right come Sunday morning
We'll see the light come Sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come Sunday morning
Sunday Sunday
The sky is falling mayday mayday
My idle hands are getting weak
My mind's ignoring what they're saying
No one's perfect seven days a week
Wrong is right come Sunday morning
We'll see the light come Sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come Sunday morning
Sunday Sunday
Sunday Sunday
You've got these strings attached like bondage
For you I'll bring the holy house down
We'll get some peace and help our sorrows drown
Lay at the altar with me
Let's live deviantly
Maybe through you I can find God
Don't tell me that you love me
It seems so final that you love me
Even the blind see
It looks better when there's mystery
Can't lay my hands on you
It'd be selfish it's true
'cause healing you could heal me too
Wrong is right come Sunday morning
We'll see the light come Sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come Sunday morning
Sunday Sunday
Invade my space invade my mind
Your intervention is so divine
Daddy I'm diggin' on your dark side
No more fingerprints on you that aren't mine
Can you de-program me
Help I need somebody
Everything I see I do I taste is part of you
Wrong is right come Sunday morning
We'll see the light come Sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come Sunday morning
Sunday Sunday
The sky is falling mayday mayday
My idle hands are getting weak
My mind's ignoring what they're saying
No one's perfect seven days a week
Wrong is right come Sunday morning
We'll see the light come Sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come Sunday morning
Sunday Sunday

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
