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"
I'm on the 28th floor looking out through the window
My boots are propped up on my desk
They pay me good money to contribute I know
But I'm Medina daydreamin' again
A girl down in Texas eyes like bluebonnets
Freckles and hair almost black
Like the dam had just broken on old Lake Medina
My Carissa held nothin' back
Ten years have gone by, we've gone on with our lives
But I can't get it out of my head
I should stop reminiscing but I catch myself drifting
Medina daydreamin' again
[Chorus:]
I don't know what cause my thought to get lost
In this magical wrinkle in time that hill country river
Oh the way that I loved her keeps winding its way through my mind
We spent the whole summer holding on to each other
Nothing else mattered back then
But each morning would find us in the shade of a cyprus
Medina daydreamin' again
We'd ride the tubes down to the place that we'd found
Pretend it was our own
Where the live oaks had hidden
A little limestone cabin
Had to be a hundred years old
We used to say we'd buy it someday
That's where we'd raise all our kids
Then we'd pop the top on a lone star
And drift down to the sand bar
Medina daydreamin' again
[Chorus]
Now sometimes I wonder
What became of her
If she ever thinks about me
And I try to imagine
What might of happened
If I hadn't been so young and naive
If I could go back somehow
With what I know now
I can almost see what might've been
I should give a call, but wait,
What am I thinkin' y'all
I'm Medina daydreamin' again
I'm dreamin' again
Back in Medina again
My boots are propped up on my desk
They pay me good money to contribute I know
But I'm Medina daydreamin' again
A girl down in Texas eyes like bluebonnets
Freckles and hair almost black
Like the dam had just broken on old Lake Medina
My Carissa held nothin' back
Ten years have gone by, we've gone on with our lives
But I can't get it out of my head
I should stop reminiscing but I catch myself drifting
Medina daydreamin' again
[Chorus:]
I don't know what cause my thought to get lost
In this magical wrinkle in time that hill country river
Oh the way that I loved her keeps winding its way through my mind
We spent the whole summer holding on to each other
Nothing else mattered back then
But each morning would find us in the shade of a cyprus
Medina daydreamin' again
We'd ride the tubes down to the place that we'd found
Pretend it was our own
Where the live oaks had hidden
A little limestone cabin
Had to be a hundred years old
We used to say we'd buy it someday
That's where we'd raise all our kids
Then we'd pop the top on a lone star
And drift down to the sand bar
Medina daydreamin' again
[Chorus]
Now sometimes I wonder
What became of her
If she ever thinks about me
And I try to imagine
What might of happened
If I hadn't been so young and naive
If I could go back somehow
With what I know now
I can almost see what might've been
I should give a call, but wait,
What am I thinkin' y'all
I'm Medina daydreamin' again
I'm dreamin' again
Back in Medina again

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
