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 tried, to let you go so many times
Yes I have
And I never thought, that going back would ever cross my mind
See I, find, it's only you
That can give me that special treatment
I ain't never been wantin' it back
Baby I miss you, and baby I need it
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Baby, I just can't shake ya, I'm addicted to your love, baby
The thought, of you makes me go crazy
And I know, if you trust me, you could be my one and only lady
And you, make me feel how I want to feel
Takin' your time, let me know it's real
You know that I feel so right, so gimme what you got tonight
Lady, when I close my eyes, all I see is you
And all the beautiful things that we used to do
Lady, when I close my eyes, it's only you I think of
'Cause I'm addicted to your love
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Baby, I just can't shake ya, I'm addicted to your love, baby
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Baby, I just can't shake ya, I'm addicted to your love, baby
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Yes I have
And I never thought, that going back would ever cross my mind
See I, find, it's only you
That can give me that special treatment
I ain't never been wantin' it back
Baby I miss you, and baby I need it
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Baby, I just can't shake ya, I'm addicted to your love, baby
The thought, of you makes me go crazy
And I know, if you trust me, you could be my one and only lady
And you, make me feel how I want to feel
Takin' your time, let me know it's real
You know that I feel so right, so gimme what you got tonight
Lady, when I close my eyes, all I see is you
And all the beautiful things that we used to do
Lady, when I close my eyes, it's only you I think of
'Cause I'm addicted to your love
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Baby, I just can't shake ya, I'm addicted to your love, baby
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
Baby, I just can't shake ya, I'm addicted to your love, baby
You know I like the way you make me feel inside
Baby, I just can't shake you, I'm addicted to your love
Baby, all day, all night, you make me feel so right
