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
Don't say a word
I understand
You want to know
If I'm still your man
Girl can't you tell
By the touch of my hand
I'm gonna please you
Every way that I can
I'll hold you
(Hold you)
Love you
(Love you)
I'll never let your love go
(Let you go, Let you go)
For always
(For always)
I'll stay
Just look in my eyes
And you'll know
Baby, I'll be there for you
Where ever you go
What ever you do
Girl, I've got forever in sight
For all of my life
I'll be there for you
Mmm
Don't ever doubt
Your trust in me
I'll give you my heart
So honestly
Deep in my soul
Baby, you'll find the truth
I'll never change
Girl, I promise you
I'll hold you
(Hold you baby)
Love you
(Love you lady)
I'll never let your love go
(never let you go, let you go)
For always
(for always)
I'll stay
Just look in my eyes
And you'll know
Nothing and no one
Can tear us apart
(Tear us apart)
You'll always be here
Inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
And just as sure
As the stars shine above
No matter what happens
You can count on my love
I'll be there for you
(When the morning comes)
Where ever you go
(When the evening falls)
What ever you do
(I'll be there baby)
Girl, 'cause I've got forever in sight
For all of my life
I'll be there for you
Don't say a word
I understand
You want to know
If I'm still your man
Girl can't you tell
By the touch of my hand
I'm gonna please you
Every way that I can
I'll hold you
(Hold you)
Love you
(Love you)
I'll never let your love go
(Let you go, Let you go)
For always
(For always)
I'll stay
Just look in my eyes
And you'll know
Baby, I'll be there for you
Where ever you go
What ever you do
Girl, I've got forever in sight
For all of my life
I'll be there for you
Mmm
Don't ever doubt
Your trust in me
I'll give you my heart
So honestly
Deep in my soul
Baby, you'll find the truth
I'll never change
Girl, I promise you
I'll hold you
(Hold you baby)
Love you
(Love you lady)
I'll never let your love go
(never let you go, let you go)
For always
(for always)
I'll stay
Just look in my eyes

You'll always be here
Inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
And just as sure
As the stars shine above
No matter what happens
You can count on my love
I'll be there for you
(When the morning comes)
Where ever you go

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”
Holiday

@[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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Very very sweet ballad! BSB at its sweetest!
