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"
See, I always been wanting a girl like you
Fine mothafucka
C-Can I get your number?
Oh, damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn
I've been checkin' you out
And I noticed that you ain't just one of the crowd
So tell me won't you
Come on and see about me, baby
I've got the Cris' on ice, I'm 'bout to get nice
Up in VIP with all my ladies
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight?
Tell me a little somethin' about you
Here's a little somethin' about me
I got a house in Capri and my own G4
And that Benz with the doors that lift up from the floor
Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh (take me out)
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn
Now that you're sitting next to me
I bet you're wondering
What my intentions are for you
And how to get into
Maybe I just wanna
Hug and kiss and love ya
Look into my eyes, baby, don't be shy
Is it yes or no
We ain't got all night
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight?
Tell me a little somethin' bout you
Here's a little somethin' bout me
I got a pimp penthouse with a sick hot tub
We can watch the flat screen
While the bubbles fill it up
Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn
Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it? (I wanna go, baby)
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn
Fine mothafucka
C-Can I get your number?
Oh, damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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.
Me too, I really enjoy these kind of silly songs. Are you sure that is JD who sings with her?
