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"
I have looked all over the place
But you have got my favorite face
Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass
And your lips are sweet and slippery
Like a cherub's bare wet ass
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
You walk in clouds of glitter
And the sun reflects your eyes
And every time the wind blows
I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an M-16
And you fuck like a volcano
And you're everything to me
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
You're a giant, flying friction blast
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
But you have got my favorite face
Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass
And your lips are sweet and slippery
Like a cherub's bare wet ass
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
You walk in clouds of glitter
And the sun reflects your eyes
And every time the wind blows
I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an M-16
And you fuck like a volcano
And you're everything to me
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast
You're a giant, flying friction blast
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings of fire
A flying, giant friction blast

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just A Little Lovin'

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/

“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.
i love this song!!! i think its so great and if i was as talented as her, i would so sing songs like hers amazing woman :)
Well I think it's a ass-kicking love song; there's this guy she really digs. This song has some of my favorite lines that are just hilarious: "and your lips are sweet and slippery Like a cherub's bare wet ass" and "Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16."
Probably the only pop song in the world about a man who shoots large amounts of cum. I was always surpised this song wasn't a massive hit. I think Phair's "in your face" lyrics must have been a turn off to the mainstream. Had she toned the lyrics down a little bit in this song, it may have been a huge craze and went to number 1. The music is extremely catchy. Surprised a producer didn't notice the potential of this and have her rework the lyrics a little bit.
Your kisses are as wicked... One of the best lyrics ever to appear in a love song.
I'm not sure whether it's really a tale of infatuation / awe or more of a dig. I mean, you don't normally speak of someone that (literally) glowingly unless you are making fun of them, or of what they think of themselves (or you are borderline nuts, a stalker-type). Also, to me, at least, it sounds like "as wicked as an M-16 [assault rifle]" instead of "as wicked as an F-16 [fighter plane]".
I never really thought about it, but it is about a guy who shoots big loads. "Giant flying friction blast" and "fuck like a volcano" can both attest to that. Anyway, this song appears to be about a relationship where both partners are sexual compatible, thus leading the singer to believe that she really really cares about him.
