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"
When I first met you got a feeling that I'll never forget
An animal attraction I know
We'd be bad together but the make up sex as good as it gets
And I just want to say to you
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're more than I can take can't get enough of you
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can't let you go
And I just want to get enough
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're the part of the pain that I love too
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can see right through
You love to hate me too (You love to hate me too)
Every time we fight I feel like breaking up but I know I can't
No one ever gets me like this
I learned a lesson it's a losing battle a war I can't win
And now I got to say to you
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're more than I can take can't get enough of you
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can't let you go
And I just want to get enough
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're the part of the pain that I love too
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can see right through
You love to hate me too
You love to hate me too
All these almost breakups
You love to hate me too
Are always worth the make ups
And if we make it through
I just want to say to you
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're more than I can take can't get enough of you
And I just wanted you to know
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're the part of the pain that I love too
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can see right through
You love to hate me too
You love to hate me too
All these almost breakups
You love to hate me too
Are always worth the make ups
And if we make it through
And I just wanted you to know
An animal attraction I know
We'd be bad together but the make up sex as good as it gets
And I just want to say to you
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're more than I can take can't get enough of you
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can't let you go
And I just want to get enough
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're the part of the pain that I love too
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can see right through
You love to hate me too (You love to hate me too)
Every time we fight I feel like breaking up but I know I can't
No one ever gets me like this
I learned a lesson it's a losing battle a war I can't win
And now I got to say to you
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're more than I can take can't get enough of you
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can't let you go
And I just want to get enough
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're the part of the pain that I love too
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can see right through
You love to hate me too
You love to hate me too
All these almost breakups
You love to hate me too
Are always worth the make ups
And if we make it through
I just want to say to you
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're more than I can take can't get enough of you
And I just wanted you to know
Every time that I hate you
I love you
You're the part of the pain that I love too
It doesn't matter what you're saying
I can see right through
You love to hate me too
You love to hate me too
All these almost breakups
You love to hate me too
Are always worth the make ups
And if we make it through
And I just wanted you to know

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.
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.
ah, i love this band. i know some of these lyrics are probably wrong; its cause i had to do it by ear, the lyrics arent posted anywhere else. :)
I think these lyrics are: "When i first met you got a feeling that i'll never forget"
"Every time that i hate you i love you your more than i can take cant get enough of you..doesnt matter what you say i cant let you go and i just wanted you to know. every time that i hate you i love you...it doesnt matter wut u say i can see right through, u love to hate me too." =)
