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"
This is the last time I see your smile
And it feels like heaven, so divine
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
No tin cans tied back of car
Is that the way the story end completely?
'Cause I sure ain't happy girl
Just because we say bitter sweetly
We're outta luck and outta time
Out of money, now I count in dimes
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
And I know
I'll make it look good
And force a smile
Smile
'Cause there's a new way out you see
No sweet reunion, no sweet relief
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
And I know
I'll make it look good
And force a smile
Smile
I grind my teeth, bite my tongue
Look at what we've become it's
Got me feeling so low
Got me feeling low
I'll make it look good
And force a smile
Smile
Oh you blacken my thumb
And it feels like heaven, so divine
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
No tin cans tied back of car
Is that the way the story end completely?
'Cause I sure ain't happy girl
Just because we say bitter sweetly
We're outta luck and outta time
Out of money, now I count in dimes
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
And I know
I'll make it look good
And force a smile
Smile
'Cause there's a new way out you see
No sweet reunion, no sweet relief
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
And I know
I'll make it look good
And force a smile
Smile
I grind my teeth, bite my tongue
Look at what we've become it's
Got me feeling so low
Got me feeling low
I'll make it look good
And force a smile
Smile
Oh you blacken my thumb

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.

This is such an awesome song....i love it alot.
RAAAWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKKKKKK!!! coughs
of course, i haven't the slightest idea what it means.
this song is about hashish...what else "blackens your thumb?"...and the forced smile...trying to trick your sadness with some fake smiles given to you by drugs...and I think there's some kind of girl here,too,probably the cause of his sadness...
oh,and the correct lyrics are "We're outta luck and outta time/We're outta money,now I count in dimes"...
