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"
Bronze by gold heard the hoofirons
Steelyringing imperthnthn thnthnthn
Chips, picking chips off rocky thumbnail, chips
Horrid, and gold flushed more
A husky fifenote blew, blew
Blue bloom is on the gold pinnacled hair
A jumping rose on satiny breasts of satin
Rose of Castille
Trilling, trilling, I Dolores
Peep, who's in the, peepofgold?
Tink cried to bronze in pity
And a call, pure, long and throbbing
Longindying call
Decoy, soft word, but look, the bright stars fade
O rose, notes chirruping
Answer, Castille, the morn is breaking
Jingle jingle jaunted jingling
Coin rang, clock clacked
Avowal, Sonnez, I could rebound of garter, not leave thee
Sweetheart, goodbye
Avowal, warm
When love absorbs
War, war, the tympanum
A sail, a veil awave upon the waves
Horn, Hawhorn
When first he saw, alas
Full tup, full throb
Warbling, ah, lure, alluring
Martha, come
Clapclop, clipclap, clappyclap
Goodgod henev erheard inall
A moonlight nightcall, far, far
I feel so sad, P.S., so lonely blooming
Listen
The spiked and winding cold seahorn
Have you the?
Each, and for other, plash and silent roar
Pearls, when she, Liszt's rhapsodies, hiss
Steelyringing imperthnthn thnthnthn
Chips, picking chips off rocky thumbnail, chips
Horrid, and gold flushed more
A husky fifenote blew, blew
Blue bloom is on the gold pinnacled hair
A jumping rose on satiny breasts of satin
Rose of Castille
Trilling, trilling, I Dolores
Peep, who's in the, peepofgold?
Tink cried to bronze in pity
And a call, pure, long and throbbing
Longindying call
Decoy, soft word, but look, the bright stars fade
O rose, notes chirruping
Answer, Castille, the morn is breaking
Jingle jingle jaunted jingling
Coin rang, clock clacked
Avowal, Sonnez, I could rebound of garter, not leave thee
Sweetheart, goodbye
Avowal, warm
When love absorbs
War, war, the tympanum
A sail, a veil awave upon the waves
Horn, Hawhorn
When first he saw, alas
Full tup, full throb
Warbling, ah, lure, alluring
Martha, come
Clapclop, clipclap, clappyclap
Goodgod henev erheard inall
A moonlight nightcall, far, far
I feel so sad, P.S., so lonely blooming
Listen
The spiked and winding cold seahorn
Have you the?
Each, and for other, plash and silent roar
Pearls, when she, Liszt's rhapsodies, hiss

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“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.
