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"
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger

Gotta believe in me
Believe me like a fairytale
Put your tooth under your pillowcase
And know I won't I won't
Ever ever let you down (no)
Like a seesaw let you down (oh)
You know why
'Cause we ain't in the playground no more baby
We're big enough
To stand in the picture
We're big enough
To stand next to love
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
Whoa oh
Remember when my heart was young
You were still bigger than me
Is that the reason that you stayed
Most would've got rid of me
Now the bully's in the school yard
Can't take our hugs and our kisses from us
Because we ain't pushovers no more baby
We're big enough
To stand in the picture
We're big enough
To stand next to love
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
(Remember those stroll down street) I remember that
(Don't like Edle Lane?) Like yesterday
(They shine on me) We were little then
(In class I dreamed about you) My baby
You wow wow (You wow wow)
Since then all I can remember is the love only got bigger
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
Oh
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
