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"
Well, how do you do?
A kiss on the cheek
It's been a while
So I'll just beg, borrow
And steal all your time
We'll call it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dry
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
Well, take it from me
What else could you do?
Ah where do you get off
And how can I get there, too?
All your time well call it dignify
Well, now it all seems to be cut and dry
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same, ah
You'll never come back
My god, can't you see that?
I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
The Lebanon won't speak my name
Well, everyone's saying rise and shine
It might not be true romance is fine
'Cause I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
The Lebanon won't speak my name
We're leaving this we're jumping ship
Ah, just give me a piece of mind 'cause I
A kiss on the cheek
It's been a while
So I'll just beg, borrow
And steal all your time
We'll call it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dry
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
Well, take it from me
What else could you do?
Ah where do you get off
And how can I get there, too?
All your time well call it dignify
Well, now it all seems to be cut and dry
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same, ah
You'll never come back
My god, can't you see that?
I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
The Lebanon won't speak my name
Well, everyone's saying rise and shine
It might not be true romance is fine
'Cause I know which way to run
You're tired my love, I feel the same
The Lebanon won't speak my name
We're leaving this we're jumping ship
Ah, just give me a piece of mind 'cause I

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.
