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"

This song is a deep, emotional representation of the common excitement that youth find on a Friday (which comes after Thursday and before Saturday), told from the point of view of an eighth grader named Rebecca Black. In the beginning, Rebecca explains her morning routine and the chaos of getting ready for school. After having her bowl and her cereal, she heads to the bus stop, where as she's waiting for the bus, she sees her friends. They're kicking in the front seat and sitting in the back seat. She then asks herself a deep question, to which the answer could be the meaning of life: "Which seat can I take?" This line is a philological metaphor, representing the difficult concept of making decisions in our modern day society. Then, while in the car with her 13 year old friends, she sings about "getting down on Friday" and how everyone is looking forward to the weekend. This statement is universally a triumph. Then she sings about "Partyin'", to which her friends agree with, "Yeah!" to represent the phenomenon that teens anticipate weekly: Friday. Finally, she sings about fun. The whole point of the song.
