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"
A new beginning
A new chapter of my life
Started the day
When I thought
It could be my last.
My eyes were wide shut but
I hadn't given up
Just thought I'd be walking
The world alone.
Out of the blue
There I met you,
Showed me a life I can't see without you,
And there's just no way,
That I can fight these emotions
Your energy running through me
Nobody can renew me like you.
Out of the blue
Can this be true!
Family and friends they were my life,
I wasn't one for butterflies
But you gave me love that I can't disguise.
There will be times when we're apart,
I want you to know you're in my heart,
Growing into a beautiful garden.
No emotions,
My whole body felt like ice.
Needed to feel,
That the sun would shine my way.
My world had turned to dust
But I, had my faith and trust
Just thought I'd be walking,
The world alone.
Family and friends they were my life,
I wasn't one for butterflies,
But you gave me love that I can't disguise.
There will be times when we're apart,
I want you to know you're in my heart,
Growing into a beautiful garden.
Out of the blue,
There I met you,
I can't believe that this happened so soon.
There's just no way,
That I can fight these emotions,
Your energy running through me.
(out of the blue)
(there I met you)
(showed me a life I can't see without you)
(out of the blue)
(there I met you)
(showed me a life I can't see without you)
There will be times when we're apart,
I want you to know you're in my heart,
Growing into a beautiful garden.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
In this song I think that when she says butterflies she's reffering to either: Butterflies and their beauty, comparing htem to the beauty she saw in Mark Phillipousis or Butterflies, as in, getting butterlfies in your stomach from meeting someone you either like or love. But this song is widely acknowledged as being about Mark and even though Deltas music isn't really my thing, I was annoyed when he cheated on her with Paris Hilton. It's an okay song but it's really starting to get on my nerves.
