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"
Tell me what you did to me
Just there beneath my feet
Didn't even notice we were miles above the ground
I'm not afraid of heights
We crashed into the sky
Didn't know that I could feel the way that I do now
I'm not asking for an explanation
All I know is that you take me away
And you show me how to fly
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
When things get messed up
You lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
There's no sense of time with you and I
It's zero gravity
The edges fade away
'Til there's no more shades of gray
You only have to whisper anything at all
You opened up my eyes
You turned my lows to highs
And that's the only way that I know how to fall
Not gonna analyze or try to fight it
Don't even care if it makes no sense at all
'Cause with you I can fly
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
When things get messed up, you lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
There's no sense of time with you and I
It's zero gravity
You make it so easy to just drift away
I can't imagine being without you
Don't think about it, don't think about
Don't think about, don't think about
(Don't think about it)
Don't think about it
(Don't think about it)
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
Zero gravity
Just there beneath my feet
Didn't even notice we were miles above the ground
I'm not afraid of heights
We crashed into the sky
Didn't know that I could feel the way that I do now
I'm not asking for an explanation
All I know is that you take me away
And you show me how to fly
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
When things get messed up
You lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
There's no sense of time with you and I
It's zero gravity
The edges fade away
'Til there's no more shades of gray
You only have to whisper anything at all
You opened up my eyes
You turned my lows to highs
And that's the only way that I know how to fall
Not gonna analyze or try to fight it
Don't even care if it makes no sense at all
'Cause with you I can fly
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
When things get messed up, you lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
There's no sense of time with you and I
It's zero gravity
You make it so easy to just drift away
I can't imagine being without you
Don't think about it, don't think about
Don't think about, don't think about
(Don't think about it)
Don't think about it
(Don't think about it)
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
Nothing brings me down when you're around
It's like zero gravity
The world just disappears when you're here
It's zero gravity
Zero gravity

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
lovee this songg :)
this song brings a whole new meaning to the saying "they swept me off my feet." its just saying how the singer is in love and cant explain why but knows that when he's with the person he loves, he feels better than he's ever felt before. he's also saying how she makes him a better person and makes him accomplish things that he never thought he could do before....and that's how you know if someone is right for you, if they make you better than you were without them :)
"I'm not asking for an explanation All I know is that you take me away And you show me how to fly"
Oooh, this song is so awesome! The first time I heard it was at the Reno Concert 2009!
I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS SONG!
You missed the bridge!
'You make it so easy to just drift away I can't imagine being without you
Don't think about, don't think about Don't think about it
Don't think about, don't think about it'
Loveee this song. <3
