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"
You like to run and I like to chill
If I'm chillin' with you girl
Every second that I have you know I will
Spend with you
You're into movies and restaurants
And that's OK but
Spending nights with you is what I want
Cause I like it that way
People say that it wont work
We're not compatible
As long as we're here on this Earth
We'll be unseperable
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally in illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me
You like to go on exotic cruises
To Caribbean islands
Sip margaritas on the beach in Mexico
I like to go walking underneath the stars
Moon shining down on us
You and me holding hands
We understand, we've got a plan
In fact where ever you are is where I wanna go
Don't you know
They can believe what they will
We'll prove them wrong
Come down on our high water our love
Will still be strong
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me
I always heard that opposites attract
You and I live in proof no matter what
Love survives after all
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me yeah
If I'm chillin' with you girl
Every second that I have you know I will
Spend with you
You're into movies and restaurants
And that's OK but
Spending nights with you is what I want
Cause I like it that way
People say that it wont work
We're not compatible
As long as we're here on this Earth
We'll be unseperable
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally in illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me
You like to go on exotic cruises
To Caribbean islands
Sip margaritas on the beach in Mexico
I like to go walking underneath the stars
Moon shining down on us
You and me holding hands
We understand, we've got a plan
In fact where ever you are is where I wanna go
Don't you know
They can believe what they will
We'll prove them wrong
Come down on our high water our love
Will still be strong
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me
I always heard that opposites attract
You and I live in proof no matter what
Love survives after all
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me
You me different as night and day
All we ever hear them say
What seems to be totally illogical
Makes perfect sense to me
We might be light years apart
Still we are tight at the heart
It's completely and totally illogical
But it makes perfect sense to me yeah

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”

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
