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"

Aiyyo, check this one out
Somethin smooth
Calm you down
Check out the story
Ya know what I mean? 1998
It’s vinia on the hook up
Pete rock
Aiyyo, a type love story, with the guts and glory
Yes a high priced shorty, dollar signs when you saw me
Havin naughty intentions witcha
Rear suspension, a star, the first convention
Got the camera’s attention, I mentioned no names
I guess times changed from the subway trains
To the first class planes, still the same type of freak
In the penthouse suite, and rendezvous to meet
I guess we goin deep cover you still got the hunger
For the chocolate boy wonder, back to the days of thunder
Thighs and light eyes, caramel surprise
Soft skin and healthy size, I’m just that type of guy
Fly and cool, ms. jamaica at the pool
Takin her to school, debate the golden rule
Only fools fall fast, sellin out for the cash
But this love’s gotta last from the ash to the dust
Build trust, beyond the lust, kick back
And split a dutch, chill out and tell tales and such
You’re mind blowin
Chorus: vinia mojica
Mind blowin, decision
Causes head-on collision
You know it
And I know it
That you need me, I want you
[pete rock]
Yo, a ghetto superstar, got a taste for caviar
So far, you’re up to par, with the luxury car
The lex or the benz, connect with your friends
Once again in the lens tryin to follow the trends
From tens to hundreds, designer tight threads
And strong black dreads, catch the ooh from the heads
(you see that dime kid? )
Yo a med school grade, my pen still on the pad
Remembering, what we had, fubu past the fad of lugz and thugs
Now we sip each other’s wine on persian rugs
Givin love and backrubs
In tubs with the bubbles, carefree from the struggle
I like your new muscle, so appealing to my hustle, to knock
It’s the one and only pete rock
Got a lock on this lady might even make a baby
No time to act shady, it’s strictly for the ladies
Mind blowin
Chorus
[pete rock]
Aiyyo, playin trivial pursuit, with lottery loot
Feedin me grapes and fruit in your birthday suit
Parachute over paris, you way above average
Type built for marriage, with twins in the carriage
Thank aladdin for the wish and deep fry fish
There’s no way we can miss (swish!) it’s all good
When we back in the hood, twistin trees with no wood
When I was stressed out, you always understood
To my legend, no question, you’re the answer
With the legs of a dancer, can’t refuse a jolly rancher
Born a cancer zodiac, with features that attract
Causin cardiac arrest, no stress, take my hands
And caress your chest, sleep and dream about the rest
When it comes to beauty girl it’s no contest
Grab ahold of yourself, and, open your eyes
Get wise to my exercise and realize
We got one life to live baby, just one
We only got one life to breeze, see us live through our seeds
Chorus (repeat to fade)

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
