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"
Hey let's get together on this one
We're all in this one together
So everybody let's get in on this one
We need to be together
Hey did you see that, we saw him die
Then someone came along
And brought him back to life
At the same time
We're still letting people die
It's no illusion, running out of time
There must be something we can do to make it right
Oh, why can't we open up our eyes
There's no more time for confusion
There's only love to help us find a way
Let's take the life that we're given and try to
Make a brighter day
Instead of throwing it away
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
Send out a message that's loud and clear
Sing it to the world so everyone can hear
Oh why do we keep it all inside
Let's show them love instead of hate
What a difference it would make
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
Blinders keep us apart
Open your eyes, now before it's too late
Da doom dern, dern
Ba dum do do
Ba dam boo be but
But oh
Let's make a life for the children
We've got to try to help them find a way
?Cause all they've got is what we give them
Let's show them love instead of hate
What a difference it would make
We're all in this one together
So everybody let's get in on this one
We need to be together
Hey did you see that, we saw him die
Then someone came along
And brought him back to life
At the same time
We're still letting people die
It's no illusion, running out of time
There must be something we can do to make it right
Oh, why can't we open up our eyes
There's no more time for confusion
There's only love to help us find a way
Let's take the life that we're given and try to
Make a brighter day
Instead of throwing it away
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
Send out a message that's loud and clear
Sing it to the world so everyone can hear
Oh why do we keep it all inside
Let's show them love instead of hate
What a difference it would make
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
We're all in this together
It's up to us we can make it better
Blinders keep us apart
Open your eyes, now before it's too late
Da doom dern, dern
Ba dum do do
Ba dam boo be but
But oh
Let's make a life for the children
We've got to try to help them find a way
?Cause all they've got is what we give them
Let's show them love instead of hate
What a difference it would make

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”
