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"
Oh-Oh
Hey hey oh-oh
Oh-oh
I said, "Hey boy,
sitting in your tree
Mummy always wants
you to come for tea
(Oh-oh)
Don't be shy,
straighten up your tie
Get down from your
treehouse in the sky
(oh-oh)
I wanna know just
what to do
Is it very big, is there
room for two?
(Oh-oh)
I got a house with
windows and doors
I'll show you mine if
you show me yours"
(Bridge)
Gotta let me in

We can talk, we can sing,
I'll be the queen and you'll
be the king
(oh-oh)
Hey boy, in your tree
Throw down your ladder,
make a room for me
(oh-oh)
I got a house with
windows and doors
I'll show you mine if
you show me yours
(Repeat bridge)
Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
yup i think its bout se. "Is it very big?" "Do you play with the girls?"
