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"
Heat is rising
Feeling high and I'm on my way
Tell me if you wanna take a hit
Right beside you
I came to fight so get out of my way
'Cause Daddy told me don't you ever
Take no fucking shit
So get it right
I'm gonna get to you
Laughing as I spit your way
Faster that a fucking flash of light
Stomach's burning alcohol
I must have burned
A bottle full
And you ain't got a chance
In Hell tonight
So get it right
I'm gonna get you
A thousand miles of chicken wire
A foot of lead
Daddy didn't raise no fucking fools
Coming up on your right
Coming up on your right
No one is going to fuck with
Me tonight
So get it right
I'm gonna get to you
Feeling high and I'm on my way
Tell me if you wanna take a hit
Right beside you
I came to fight so get out of my way
'Cause Daddy told me don't you ever
Take no fucking shit
So get it right
I'm gonna get to you
Laughing as I spit your way
Faster that a fucking flash of light
Stomach's burning alcohol
I must have burned
A bottle full
And you ain't got a chance
In Hell tonight
So get it right
I'm gonna get you
A thousand miles of chicken wire
A foot of lead
Daddy didn't raise no fucking fools
Coming up on your right
Coming up on your right
No one is going to fuck with
Me tonight
So get it right
I'm gonna get to you

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Richard Petty was one of the world reknowned NASCAR driving greats, and his son Kyle would always be known merely as the son of a great man - no matter what he achieved on the the race track.
The song is about having a name/title to live up to before you're even born
