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"

Mike Jones
Befo' I came up in the game these hoes didn't show no love
They see me in the club and used to treat me like a scrub
They wouldn't holla 'cause my dollars wasn't swole enough
I bet they change they mind when them 84's come rolling up
They see that I'm a star, now they wanna sit in my car
Now they wanna count my g's, smoke my weed and sip my bar now
They used to love to me diss me, now they rush to hug and kiss me now
They telling all they friends when I leave how they miss me now
Two, eight, one, three, three oh, eight zero zero fo'
Hit Mike Jones up on the low cause Mike Jones about to blow
Befo' the ice was in my grill, befo' I got my major deal
These hoes wouldn't give a damn if I was heah, geah
Befo' the ice was in my grill, befo' I got my major deal
These hoes wouldn't give a damn if I was heah, geah
Befo' the ice was in my grill, befo' I got my major deal

I remember back den, most of them hoes couldn't stand me
But now them same hoes begging me to pull down they panties
A couple of 'em said I was cute but I was just too chubby
Same size a year later the same hoes want to fuck me
Because they see me paid, pimping pens, working my jelly
And I ain't tripping cause my pockets stick out mo' than my belly
They know I'm paid, living laid in the shade
Two slabs in the Escalade with fo' or five estates
They know that I got it made, I'm a motherfucking baller
She would want a nigga now but I ain't got no time to call her
I'ma stall her like she stalled me, now she trying to call me
Bitch I'ma dog yo' hoe ass like you dogged me
I'm Mike Jones, don't act like you don't know the name
Ain't nothing changed but my change, I'ma stay the same

Back then hoes didn't want me, now I'm hot hoes all on me
Back then hoes didn't want me, now I'm hot hoes all on me, I said
Befo' my paper came, befo' I got my fame
These hoes that's poppin on me now didn't even know my name
They said my flow was lame, they said I had no game
I told 'em all I was fin' to blow they thought I was insane
But they my name started blowing up quick, now they jumping on my dick
Cause they see me on the rise and know now my paper thick
But they my name started blowing up quick, now they jumping on my dick
Because they see me on the rise and oh now my paper thick
Back then hoes didn't want me, now I'm hot hoes all on me

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,
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.
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.
Not going to try reading that sorry ass excuse for a paragraph (if you can call it that), but if you want to know why I called you a big vagina, it is because you have no clue... It's really funny when people say "If you want to listen to real music" or whatever other bullshit that they are spitting out, and follow it up by listing some bands that make their e-penis 3 inches longer. News flash: Nobody gives a fuck what kind of music you like, whether it is 'good' or not.
