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"
feeling funky like a monkey
I'm the one when it's sunny
be my sugar bunny honey
and we'll ride
it's absolutely hot outside
you need a drink?
how about that glass of pink lemonade
just the shade of your lipstick,
so hick
I love it
I like my room a mess, I confess
it's the stress
of you sitting over there
sitting in my rocking chair
back and forth and back and forth and back
come on now cut some slack
I'm going stark raving mad
and you're so very bad
to do what you do
your old tricks are new to me
I'm so easy
I'm an airhead when it's breezy
I don't like it if its cheezy
but your scent makes me dizzy
it's time to get busy
cause we have all day
come outside and we'll play
you and me and you and me and you and me, got to be (repeat)
such a tease
what a flirt
t shirt and short skirt
and those cute little toes
yummy yummy some of those
little piggies gone to market
am I sick? right on target
hey now, tell me how
you got here
in your gear
looking like a princess
why you want to impress
a toad like me
kiss me I'll be charming
disarming funny but alarming
I'm starving
we'll spend a sexy afternoon
feed each other with a spoon
wash it down with some wine
that will make us feel fine
not too much just a touch
just to get the right rush
you can giggle while i sing
it's so crazy to be spring
dance around bubbles on
we can make out to the sun
and the sound of the band
groovy cool I understand
bop around in a trance
skinny herd of elephants
stare you down to the skin
I can tell where you've been
you and me could take a walk
you and I should have a talk
about the birds and the bees
and the wiggles in my knees
honey honey sugar sweet
cello groove and chunky beat
we could sweat, sopping wet, skinny dip I'm all set
I've got some time to kill
to relax and just chill
you and me and you and me and you and me, got to be (repeat)
you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
when skies are gray
you make me happy
you're pink lemonade
when skies are gray (repeat)
feeling funky like a monkey
I'm the one when its sunny
be my sugar bunny honey
and we'll ride
it's absolutely hot outside
need a drink?
how about that glass of pink lemonade
just the shade of your lipstick
its so hick
I love it
now my room is a mess
with the state of undress
and we're sitting in my chair
with my face in your hair
back and forth and back and forth and back
now we're on the right track
I'm going stark raving mad
and you're so very bad
to do what you do
you're old tricks are new to me
cause i'm easy
it's getting breezy
I feel cheezy
one sniff and I'm dizzy
it's time to get busy
cause we have all day
come outside and we'll play
you and me and you and me and you and me, got to be (repeat)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this song is all about summer lovin' and sunburnt rawks for deciphering all of it
