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"
It was 3 AM
When you woke me up
And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came out
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
It left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you
When the car broke down
We just kept walking along
'Til we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all OK
We spent all our money
On stupid things
But if I look back now
I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
It left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you
Now I'm sitting here
Like we used to do
I think about my life
And now there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Every time I hear your name
Every time I feel the same
It's like it all falls into place
Everything, everything feels right
You walked away
Just one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you
When you woke me up
And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came out
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
It left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you
When the car broke down
We just kept walking along
'Til we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all OK
We spent all our money
On stupid things
But if I look back now
I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
It left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you
Now I'm sitting here
Like we used to do
I think about my life
And now there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Every time I hear your name
Every time I feel the same
It's like it all falls into place
Everything, everything feels right
You walked away
Just one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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.
It means that you love somebody so much, you can't let go, and would do pretty much anything to have the person back for just one more day to prove how much you still feel for the person. This song has become my boyfriend and my new song because we used to drive all over the place late in the morning. It's a great song!
