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"

I want your whiskey mouth all over my blond south
Red wine, cheap perfume and a filthy pout
Tonight bring all your friends, because a group does it better
Why river with a pair?
Let's have a full house of leather
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Heavy metal lover
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Heavy metal lover
Dirty pony, I
Can't wait to hose you down (down, down)
You've got to earn your leather
In this part of town (town, town)
Dirty girls, in a patch, follow the Remington Rebels
Let's raise hell in the streets
Drink beer and get into trouble
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Heavy metal lover
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Heavy metal lover
I could be your girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl
But would you love me
If I ruled the world, world, world
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Heavy metal lover
Whip me slap me, punk funk
New York clubbers, bump drunk
Dark like liquorice, bar slam
Move it, this is your jam
Wash the night, with St. Jam-eson
Like a baptism
Heavy metal lovers play
Baby, we were born this way
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Heavy metal lover
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Heavy metal lover
I could be your girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl
But would you love me (heavy metal lover)
If I ruled the world, world, world
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (heavy metal lover)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (heavy metal lover)

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”
