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 will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
Midnight, don't seem right
I lie awake just a-wonderin' about you
Wound up much too tight
Can't think about livin' without you
The day you put your spell on me
I guess I was the last to know
So please remember before you go
That I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No I will never run out of love
For so long, deep and strong
Love flowed mighty as a river
Long road, heavy load
Hard times couldn't keep us apart
Never thought you would
Break the promise, oh no
Now it seems there's a part of me
That just can't let you go
So please remember
That you can come back home
'Cause I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No I will never run out of love
No, no baby, don't you leave me no
No, no baby, don't go
No, no baby, if you run away
I still hope you know
I need you so
I can't take no more
I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love for you
No, I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No, I will never run out of love for you
Oh baby please, don't go
No, I'll never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out, never run out
No I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
Midnight, don't seem right
I lie awake just a-wonderin' about you
Wound up much too tight
Can't think about livin' without you
The day you put your spell on me
I guess I was the last to know
So please remember before you go
That I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No I will never run out of love
For so long, deep and strong
Love flowed mighty as a river
Long road, heavy load
Hard times couldn't keep us apart
Never thought you would
Break the promise, oh no
Now it seems there's a part of me
That just can't let you go
So please remember
That you can come back home
'Cause I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No I will never run out of love
No, no baby, don't you leave me no
No, no baby, don't go
No, no baby, if you run away
I still hope you know
I need you so
I can't take no more
I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love for you
No, I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No, I will never run out of love for you
Oh baby please, don't go
No, I'll never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out, never run out
No I will never run out of love for you
I'll never run out of love for you

Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
