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"
Listen up everyone there's something wrong
We got the answers in our sights now
But somehow still we struggle along
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer
Just a chorus of voices wondering why
We're stuck here without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night I'll be okay
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today
Looking towards the future and all I can see
Is the next generation looking back
With pity on me
Hunting for some insight or mean to change
But do we have the will to or will our
Future look the same
How can I live when you won't let me in
How can I die without reasons why
How can I laugh when I want to cry
How can I go on with nothing nowhere
How will I make it
We got the answers in our sights now
But somehow still we struggle along
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer
Just a chorus of voices wondering why
We're stuck here without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night I'll be okay
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today
Looking towards the future and all I can see
Is the next generation looking back
With pity on me
Hunting for some insight or mean to change
But do we have the will to or will our
Future look the same
How can I live when you won't let me in
How can I die without reasons why
How can I laugh when I want to cry
How can I go on with nothing nowhere
How will I make it

@[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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song reminds me of better days, this is the album and song that made me want to form a band, and we did later on, As They Fall, we only got a couple of vinyl ep's in the early 2000's but whatever this is about a way better band. Old school melodic hardcore punk at its finest and the content of the lyrics, I can feel Jason's pain up to this day, even at 31, my life has been messed up with a skate(ironic) accident that has had me on the opiate painkiller rollercoaster aggravated when the very few girls I loved in my life broke up with me "how can I live, when you won't let me in..."
I want this song to play at my funeral. Pennywise from 1991 to 1997 = some of the best music ever, straight ahead is very meh, lacks the usual anger from Pennywise, Land Of The Free is awesome up to My God, so a great half album that should have been an EP, From The Ashes, maybe 2-3 songs worth my time, The Fuse was okay, not anything terrible on it, yet nothing extraordinary, Reason To Believe, horrible production!!!! what the fuck was that, some good songs in there but they're ruined by this shit production. Now I love Ignite but he shouldn't have sang on a Pennywise album.
Jason was Pennywise's soul, like Jeff Hanneman was to Slayer. I'm hoping whatever they got cooking now with Jason back in the band, if its their last album, they better listen to Full Circle and previous albums, they managed to rape ass without Jason on Full Circle, although I imagine some of the material on it was written by him.
