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"
Fall, fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fa-fa-fall
I wanna lose myself with love
Let you have me completely
If I give you all my trust
Can I just let me go, let me not be afraid
To let you find my way
'Cause when you find someone that means so much to you
Givin' all you've got is easy to do
[Chorus]
Just fall, don't be afraid
Fall, 'cause I'm on my way
Fall, with all of my faith
In love
Just fall, it'll be okay
Fall, there's no other way
Fall, just fall
In love
I'm ready to fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fa-fa-fall
So I find myself right here
'Bout to lean over the edge
In your arms, I have no fear
There is no safer place than here in your embrace
So catch me if I fall
[Chorus: x 2]
[Bridge]
It's not easy giving up trust, yeah
And aren't you scared a little bit?
Then your heart is questioning if you could really handle it
Don't wanna fall alone
So, will you catch me? (Catch me)
Save me? (Save me)
And tell me I'll be safe right here
And if are you the one that's scared
So, baby come and fall right here
Just fall (oh)
Fall, fall
In love
Fall, fall (oh fall)
Fall in love (I wanna fall in love)
[Chorus]
Fall, fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fa-fa-fall [Repeat: x 2]
In love, in love, in love
In love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fall, fall, fall
Fa-fa-fall
I wanna lose myself with love
Let you have me completely
If I give you all my trust
Can I just let me go, let me not be afraid
To let you find my way
'Cause when you find someone that means so much to you
Givin' all you've got is easy to do
[Chorus]
Just fall, don't be afraid
Fall, 'cause I'm on my way
Fall, with all of my faith
In love
Just fall, it'll be okay
Fall, there's no other way
Fall, just fall
In love
I'm ready to fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fa-fa-fall
So I find myself right here
'Bout to lean over the edge
In your arms, I have no fear
There is no safer place than here in your embrace
So catch me if I fall
[Chorus: x 2]
[Bridge]
It's not easy giving up trust, yeah
And aren't you scared a little bit?
Then your heart is questioning if you could really handle it
Don't wanna fall alone
So, will you catch me? (Catch me)
Save me? (Save me)
And tell me I'll be safe right here
And if are you the one that's scared
So, baby come and fall right here
Just fall (oh)
Fall, fall
In love
Fall, fall (oh fall)
Fall in love (I wanna fall in love)

Fall, fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall
Fa-fa-fall [Repeat: x 2]
In love, in love, in love
In love
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
this song is kinda the same as Right Here(Departed) on the same album Human. the speaker is just different. this speaker is wondering if she can trust her lover and give it all to him no matter what. she wonders if that if she falls, he will catch her.
