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"
Im finding everything
Worthless and inspiring
to find the light the business types all talk about
to reach the so delightful day your breath runs out
but its and but its and but its and but its so (high in demand)
but its and but its and but its so (high in demand)
you said your leaving
but youve said to much to late
now your believing
but youve said to much to late
(hes in cardiac arrest)
can someone call an ambulance
(he forgot to take his meds)
but hes oh so young and innocent
at this point in time im just take back
cus the soul theyve never seen
is seeping through his skin right now and
and were all just trying to find
the softer side to life
you said your leaving
but youve said to much to late
now your believing
but youve said to much to late
(just like just like, like the night cries)
(just like, just like, when the moon dies)
can someone take these lies
write them down and use them right
someone take these lies
write them down and use them right
someone take these lies
write them down and use them right
someone take these lies
write them down and use them right
to someone (someone), may this matter to
someone (someone), may this matter
to someone (someone), may this matter to you
take me, ready and willing
cus i cant breath no i cant breath tonight
take me, ready and willing
cus i cant breath no i cant breath tonight
take me, ready and willing
cus i cant breath no i cant breath tonight
take me, ready and willing
cus i cant breath no i cant breath tonight

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i think this means that anyone will do to get what they want
