The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I look back on all those good times
We once shared and I must have been blind
Just to think I'd find someone new
One who'd love me better than you
Well, it may come as a surprise
Loneliness has opened my eyes
I tried every love I could find
Still I can't get you out of my mind
'Cause there's no one in the world to hold me
No one in the world's gonna move me
No one in the world can love me
Like you do, baby
Every time I'm with someone
I'm loving you, yes, I want to run
I wanna run back to your arms again
Ain't no one in the world (No one in the world)
Loves me like you do
Are you happy now with your life
Well, for me, I'm breaking inside
So self-assured that I could not see
I had it all when you were with me, baby
No one in the world's gonna hold me
No one in the world's gonna move me
No one in the world can love me
Like you do, baby
Every time I'm with someone
I'm loving you and I want to run
I wanna run back to your arms again
Ain't no one in the world (No one in the world)
Loves me like you do
Please take me back (Please take me back)
Oh babe, I can't go on (I can't go on)
I'm not happy in my life without you
I'll do whatever it takes
I've got to get you back with me again
(Got to get you back with me)
I realize I need you here in my life
(No one in the world) No one, no one
(No one in the world) Nobody loves me like you do
(No one in the world)
(Like) My (You) my (Do) my (And) baby
(Every time) You got the love that I need
(Love I need) And you brought it down, heaven on me
Ain't no one in the world (No one in the world)
In this world
In this world, hoo (No one in the world)
We once shared and I must have been blind
Just to think I'd find someone new
One who'd love me better than you
Well, it may come as a surprise
Loneliness has opened my eyes
I tried every love I could find
Still I can't get you out of my mind
'Cause there's no one in the world to hold me
No one in the world's gonna move me
No one in the world can love me
Like you do, baby
Every time I'm with someone
I'm loving you, yes, I want to run
I wanna run back to your arms again
Ain't no one in the world (No one in the world)
Loves me like you do
Are you happy now with your life
Well, for me, I'm breaking inside
So self-assured that I could not see
I had it all when you were with me, baby
No one in the world's gonna hold me
No one in the world's gonna move me
No one in the world can love me
Like you do, baby
Every time I'm with someone
I'm loving you and I want to run
I wanna run back to your arms again
Ain't no one in the world (No one in the world)
Loves me like you do
Please take me back (Please take me back)
Oh babe, I can't go on (I can't go on)
I'm not happy in my life without you
I'll do whatever it takes
I've got to get you back with me again
(Got to get you back with me)
I realize I need you here in my life
(No one in the world) No one, no one
(No one in the world) Nobody loves me like you do

(Like) My (You) my (Do) my (And) baby
(Every time) You got the love that I need

Ain't no one in the world (No one in the world)
In this world
In this world, hoo (No one in the world)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron

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"

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
