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"
Please, please, please, please
(Please, please don't go)
Don't go, oh, oh
Oh, oh, I need you, darling
You've got the power of love
I found someone to love me
I found someone to love me
I found someone to love me
I found someone to love me
I know it's true, I love you
I found someone to love me
Why did it happen this way?
Someone has taken my place
Girl, want to share my embrace
Why do you do me like you do
You made me love you but I feel so sad
You made me need you and it's driving me so mad
I want you so bad
I love you yes I do
I love you yes, I do
I know your love it's true from the way I looked at you
You love me yes, you do
You need me, I need you
I'm ours my whole life
Since I've lay eyes on you
I guess you knew it from the start
From the day you took my heart
You are the one girl I'll always admire
I must be whenever you are
But I want to let you know one thing
I want to tell you one thing
I want to tell you one thing
I was walking down the streets
Why just everything happen to me
why just everything happen to me
Please, I'm lonely, I'm by myself now and the love's a memory
And so many strange things happen to me, all day long
Strange, strange things happen to me, all day long
Please I'm lonely, everything I do is wrong
Bewildered
Love, I dream of you
Well, I love, I need you
Why did we part?
Baby, take my hand (Please don't go)
I want to be a better man (please, please, don't go)
Honey, please (don't go)
I love you so (please, please, don't go)
Please don't go (please, please, don't go)
Please don't go (please, please, don't go)
Honey please don't go (don't go)
I love you so (please, please, don't go)
(Please, please don't go)
Don't go, oh, oh
Oh, oh, I need you, darling
You've got the power of love
I found someone to love me
I found someone to love me
I found someone to love me
I found someone to love me
I know it's true, I love you
I found someone to love me
Why did it happen this way?
Someone has taken my place
Girl, want to share my embrace
Why do you do me like you do
You made me love you but I feel so sad
You made me need you and it's driving me so mad
I want you so bad
I love you yes I do
I love you yes, I do
I know your love it's true from the way I looked at you
You love me yes, you do
You need me, I need you
I'm ours my whole life
Since I've lay eyes on you
I guess you knew it from the start
From the day you took my heart
You are the one girl I'll always admire
I must be whenever you are
But I want to let you know one thing
I want to tell you one thing
I want to tell you one thing
I was walking down the streets
Why just everything happen to me
why just everything happen to me
Please, I'm lonely, I'm by myself now and the love's a memory
And so many strange things happen to me, all day long
Strange, strange things happen to me, all day long
Please I'm lonely, everything I do is wrong
Bewildered
Love, I dream of you
Well, I love, I need you
Why did we part?
Baby, take my hand (Please don't go)
I want to be a better man (please, please, don't go)
Honey, please (don't go)
I love you so (please, please, don't go)
Please don't go (please, please, don't go)
Please don't go (please, please, don't go)
Honey please don't go (don't go)
I love you so (please, please, don't go)

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."
