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"
If it stayed I'd never leave it if that turned around
I'd grieve the special dirty things that we used to talk about
I mean that loving you is strange and adored by me throughout,
oh no it's you again
Someday soon you'll find that someone waiting for the chance to beat you
Drooling on the set to feel you, blessing you with every kiss
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
It's Such the patient one who needs me, the spoiled one who wins
So shocking where's yours sense don't you know I hate you ooh,
unsatisfied you little girl
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Rolling dice and seeming queer, bastard love a sick affair
Let's see what new disease you'll fetch
I mean that fucking you is stange and adored by me throughout
Oh no it's you again blessing you with every kiss
So precious you know this hate of mine exploded
I'm so deranged you know I will never be decieved
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
So precious loving the thrill
So precious loving the thrill
'Cause Your the death of me
So precious loving the thrill
I'd grieve the special dirty things that we used to talk about
I mean that loving you is strange and adored by me throughout,
oh no it's you again
Someday soon you'll find that someone waiting for the chance to beat you
Drooling on the set to feel you, blessing you with every kiss
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
It's Such the patient one who needs me, the spoiled one who wins
So shocking where's yours sense don't you know I hate you ooh,
unsatisfied you little girl
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Rolling dice and seeming queer, bastard love a sick affair
Let's see what new disease you'll fetch
I mean that fucking you is stange and adored by me throughout
Oh no it's you again blessing you with every kiss
So precious you know this hate of mine exploded
I'm so deranged you know I will never be decieved
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
Tying yourself to me stitch up my emptiness
'Cause you're the death of me so precious, loving the thrill
So precious loving the thrill
So precious loving the thrill
'Cause Your the death of me
So precious loving the thrill

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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think its a bout a girl he likes but he can't have because hes married and doesn't want his wife to find out about them.
