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"
My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

In a reply to a comment, RyuheiAoi said that this song is about a woman who is leading a man on but she is married. The man knows of this but he loves her that much he can't turn away.
I have just came from a simular sort of situation and fell in love with this woman who was married. She promised me the world, and that her husband treat her wrong and beat on her. Hearing the stories made me fall for her. But one day she cut ties with me saying she fealt guilty. I understood and admit that I wa shurt by it, but 6 months later she got back in touch with me saying she regretted cutting ties and wanted to be with me and not him.
I was a little reluctant at first and though she was full on towards me I started falling for her again. But he found out about us and she went back to him leaving me once again.
I can totally relate to this song as no matter how much you can dream about a person, when you wake your heart still aches for them.
Like myself he followed his heart and not his head which has brought him pain like he feared he would feel.
