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 want to think I have a problem
Well think again it lies within you
You act so rude and immature
Well ill act the same I won't acknowledge you
But yet you still want to run your mouth
Why even waste the time
I despise your whole existence
And that's the bottom line
Your a waste of time
Don't waste my time
(chorus: x2)
No need for adolescent gossip
Fact is that you need to grow up
Don't concern yourself with my life
Because I could care less what you do
And you say hello to my face
Ingrates and sellouts to our backs
Its no miscommunication
Guts is something that you lack
Your a jealous bitter waste of time
There is no need to pretend
I don't owe you thing
Your not my friend
Your a
Waste of time
Don't waste my time
(chorus)
You wonder why I feel like this
Come on open up your eyes
Your outcries are so pathetic
That is why I say
Your a waste of time, don't waste my time
(chorus)
(Repeat: x4)
I could care less what you do
(Repeat: x7)
Your just a waste of time
Your just a waste of my time
Well think again it lies within you
You act so rude and immature
Well ill act the same I won't acknowledge you
But yet you still want to run your mouth
Why even waste the time
I despise your whole existence
And that's the bottom line
Your a waste of time
Don't waste my time
(chorus: x2)
No need for adolescent gossip
Fact is that you need to grow up
Don't concern yourself with my life
Because I could care less what you do
And you say hello to my face
Ingrates and sellouts to our backs
Its no miscommunication
Guts is something that you lack
Your a jealous bitter waste of time
There is no need to pretend
I don't owe you thing
Your not my friend
Your a
Waste of time
Don't waste my time
(chorus)
You wonder why I feel like this
Come on open up your eyes
Your outcries are so pathetic
That is why I say
Your a waste of time, don't waste my time
(chorus)
(Repeat: x4)
I could care less what you do
(Repeat: x7)
Your just a waste of time
Your just a waste of my time

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Another song that is easy to comprehend...It sort of conveys the same message of so sick of you, except now its just a bunch of lame kids being all buddy with him and then talking shit.
