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"
No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes
Yeah
I'm a freak
Of nature
Yeah
I'm a freak
If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you
Body and soul I'm a freak I'm a freak
Body and soul I'm a freak, I'm a freak
Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's infectious
To need the cold sore cream
Yeah I'm a freak of nature
Yeah I'm a freak
I don't really know
How to put on a cool show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go
If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you
As cool as you
As cool as you
Body and soul I'm a freak I'm a freak
Body and soul I'm a freak, I'm a freak

This song fucking.. is awesome. I can relate to it so well because a lot of people call me a "freak" for being an individual.. and not caring what others think of me.. You only live once.. you only have one life.. you might as well make the best out of your OWN individuality.. As Kurt Cobain once said "Being like someone else, is a waste of who you are"
