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 never was the kind of girl,
That's naturally sure when it comes to love, oh no!
I was insecure, insecure!
But when it comes to you and me
I can't deny this feeling I'm feeling inside,
Oh no, I've never been like this before!
This before, oh, no!
I seeing all the signs from above
I'm going to be the one that he loves
I was made for loving him
The Fashion of his Love!
Oh yeah
I'm gonna be his first and last kiss,
'Cause baby I was born to be his
I was made for loving him
The Fashion of his Love (I love you)
You know that I'd never cheat on a man
'Cause I'm not like that
I'm physically crafted to be
As fitting as McQueen
But when it comes to clothing a man
I'm fashionably just designed to be rad
Oh he's, no words that seem to mean
What I mean, no no, no!
No I just can't seem to forget you
No I can't
But just as long as I met you
You're my babe right through
I was made for you (I was made for you)
I seeing all the signs from above
I'm going to be the one that he loves
I was made for loving him
The Fashion of his Love!
Oh yeah
I'm gonna be his first and last kiss,
'Cause baby I was born to be his
I was made for loving him
The Fashion of his Love (I love you)
They say I need a strong man
Not just a friend,
But baby must have reached his death.
No more reason to cry or to justify
How I feel for you
My love
I seeing all the signs from above
I'm going to be the one that he loves
I was made for loving him
I seeing all the signs from above
I'm going to be the one that he loves
I was made for loving him

Oh yeah
I'm gonna be his first and last kiss,
'Cause baby I was born to be his
I was made for loving him
The Fashion of his Love (I love you)

I'm going to be the one that he loves

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This sounds like a cheesy 80's song, but I think this bonus song is ironically better than majority of the songs on the original Born This Way album.
