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"
Sure, so sure
Sure, so sure
Feel it, move it, feel it, move back
Need you so much, yeah, yeah
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found
Sitting here runnin' to my lover (lover)
Last time we met, I wasn't to sure (not so sure)
Now I'm hoping, maybe dreaming, for a life as one
When she reads this I'm hoping she'll call (call me baby)
I need more much, more than before
I need positive reactions, whenever I'm down
'Cause I'm sure, so sure
It's heaven knocking on my door
Sure, so sure, so baby come on inside
Need you so much, more and more each time we touch
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found
It's not a game, so don't play hard to get
Tired of running after you
There's no connections holding us down (down)
Isn't it a shame (shame), that it never happened (isn't it a shame), oh yeah
Though still here we are the second time round
It's gonna be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible
It's gotta be right for life
Now I'm sure, so sure
It's heaven knocking at my door
Sure, so sure, so baby come on inside, yeah
Need you so much, more and more each time we touch
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found, yeah, yeah
Holdin', squeezin', touchin', teasin'
Wantin', wishin', waitin', thinkin'
Of your love, yeah yeah
Blindin', groovin', feel it, move it
Findin', breathin', bracin', breedin'
With you girl
It's gonna be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible
It's gotta be right for love
Sure, so sure, oh yeah
Sure, so sure, so baby come on inside
Need you so much, more and more each time we touch
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found, yeah, yeah
Sure, so sure

Really feel so sure
I need you so much, yeah yeah, oh baby
Sure, so sure, so sure that it's sweet love I found
Sure, so sure
Feel it, move it, feel it, move back
Need you so much, yeah, yeah
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found
Sitting here runnin' to my lover (lover)
Last time we met, I wasn't to sure (not so sure)
Now I'm hoping, maybe dreaming, for a life as one
When she reads this I'm hoping she'll call (call me baby)
I need more much, more than before
I need positive reactions, whenever I'm down
'Cause I'm sure, so sure
It's heaven knocking on my door
Sure, so sure, so baby come on inside
Need you so much, more and more each time we touch
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found
