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"
You're my destiny you wanna be with me
So holler if ya hear me
You're my destiny you wanna be with me
Holler if ya hear me
You're my destiny you wanna be with me
Holler if ya hear me
You're my destiny you wanna be with me
Holler if ya hear me
Do you ever wonder when he
Don't come home who he goes to see?
And why in the middle of the night he leaves you alone?
'Cause everything he like is with me
If I was in your shoes
I would'a had to let him go
From the first sign of him tryin' to play
If you want me to stay
Ya gotta let all that go (oh no)
You wanna stick around
And not believe in what you see
And while you're waitin'
Thinkin' everything's gonna be okay
I got him, I got him right here with me (holler if you hear me)
(Holler if you hear me)
Do you ever wonder when he
Don't come home who he goes to see?
And why in the middle of the night
He leaves you alone, leaves you alone (he's with me)
Do you ever wonder when he
Don't come home who he goes to see?
And why in the middle of the night he leaves you alone?
'Cause everything he like is with me
I wanna call you so bad
And tell you he's sick of you, girl
What you put him through
Do you expect to mistreat him
And he still be with you
No no no no no (no no)
That's why he's here with me (holler if you hear me)
I don't care what you say (no no)
You can't play with destiny (holler if you hear me)
As fas as I know
He's in good hands
So you can stop callin' all around
Sayin' have you seen my man? (Have you seen my man?)
Ain't no need to fuss and fight
Tryin' to make it right (no)
Certain things ain't meant to be
And that's why, that's why he's right here with me
Be right here if you 'bout it, 'bout it
Master P and Destiny could get rowdy, rowdy
See, holler here if ya even hear me
All it takes, a beep to get near me, uh
And mama always told me
I could tell a real girl by the way that she hold me
I live the life of a G
But tonight girl, it's gonna be you and me
We be thugged out, Moet, champagne, I'm eatin' strawberry
She's callin' my name, you holler P never leave me'
And if you really wanna be with me, hug me and squeeze me
Real killa's like to ride
So jump in my car and just go front, back, side to side
You can press just like a flower
And if you real good, your game all about the gizzal
But never mix business with pleasure
You really want me? Prove to me that you're down for whatever
Put on your soldier gear, let's ride tonight
Thug love, bubble bath, it ain't no limit tonight
Girl if you wanna be with me (if you wanna be with me)
If you wanna be with me (if you wanna be with me)
Tell me you wanna be with me (tell me)
If you wanna be with me (if you wanna be with me)

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
