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"
Girls can too
Never give up, never give up, never give up
That's what my mama told me
Taking that chance, taking that chance, taking that chance
Would be the right thing for me
Now I, I've got the feeling
That I got what it takes
For me to be strong
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Feel like I'm number one and
Every way, every way, every way
I'm looking out for fun and now I
I've got the feeling that it's time to find out just where I belong
I just love trying the things that are new
Now I know what I want to do
So I'm gonna keep on trying
To make my dreams come true
The room is jumping
We'll dance until the dawn
Come with me
There's a party going on
The place is rocking
It's only just begun
I know the place to go
And we're gonna have some fun
'Cause anything that boys do
Don't you know that girls can too
Girls can too
Maybe it's time, maybe it's time, maybe it's time
For me to take control and
Maybe I know, maybe I know, maybe I know
It's time to take a hold and
Now I, I've got the feeling that
Totally I believe in myself
So now I know what I've got to do
I'm not that little girl you once knew
So I'm gonna keep on trying to make my dreams come true
The room is jumping
We'll dance until the dawn
Come with me
There's a party going on
The place is rocking
It's only just begun
I know the place to go
And we're gonna have some fun
'Cause anything that boys do
Don't you know that girls can too
Girls can too, yeah
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Yeah yeah
So now I know what I've got to do
I'm not that little girl you once knew
So I'm gonna keep on trying to make my dreams come true
The room is jumping
We'll dance until the dawn
Come with me
There's a party going on
The place is rocking
It's only just begun
I know the place to go
And we're gonna have some fun
'Cause anything that boys do
Don't you know that girls can too
The room is jumping
We'll dance until the dawn
Come with me
There's a party going on
The place is rocking
