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"
It feels like a fire that burns in my heart
Every single moment that we spend apart.
I need you around for every day to start;
I haven't left you alone.
There's something about you, it's there in your eyes,
Everything I'm looking for I seem to find.
All this time away is killing me inside -
I need your love in my life.
I want to spend time 'til it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
We fought in a battle, but nobody won,
And left ourselves a mountain to overcome.
You can't turn away: the past is said and done;
I need us to carry on.
I want to spend time 'til it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
You'll try everything
You never thought would work before.
When you live for, you love and you give 'em your all,
You can always give 'em some more.
Baby, nothin' means anything
Unless you're here to share with me.
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
'Cause you're always there in my dreams.
I want to spend time 'til it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
I want to spend time till it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
Every single moment that we spend apart.
I need you around for every day to start;
I haven't left you alone.
There's something about you, it's there in your eyes,
Everything I'm looking for I seem to find.
All this time away is killing me inside -
I need your love in my life.
I want to spend time 'til it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
We fought in a battle, but nobody won,
And left ourselves a mountain to overcome.
You can't turn away: the past is said and done;
I need us to carry on.
I want to spend time 'til it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
You'll try everything
You never thought would work before.
When you live for, you love and you give 'em your all,
You can always give 'em some more.
Baby, nothin' means anything
Unless you're here to share with me.
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
'Cause you're always there in my dreams.
I want to spend time 'til it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.
I want to spend time till it ends,
I want to fall with you again.
Like we did when we first met,
I want to fall with you again.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
