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"
Look, late night
I hit your phone and I be asking if you're alright
And what you up to? Wanna go for a drive?
I take you somewhere girl I ain't the usual type, you know
So, baby let me scoop you up
This coupe is known for Baby Making Woman love
I know a place that we can vibe turn that volume up
And you can laugh at me the way that I just dodged the fox
I think it's sweet you entertaining me
We'll take a drive this is London, many sights to see
And like the eye you been circling my mind
Got me thinking how our paths they been more than intertwined
All this passion ain't for fashion
I'm alive with you I feel it ain't no capping
And keep it ghetto that's an angel in stilettos
Diabetic from your vibe Cause it's sweet like amaretto
Look, It's a late night
We can stay up 'till the morning let the sun rise
We can laugh, make memories of those good times
Vibing to the twilight captivating moonlight
Let's take a walk around your block with your pedigrees
You got me heated doing work calculate degrees
That's the right angle watching how your hips travel
Nineties born I can tell the way the curls dangle
Tell me why you're so divine?
Let me park up the whip, baby you can drive
Hit the brakes, take a minute to adjust your chair
Put it into gear I'll show you how you shift and steer
It ain't summertime but still we exercise the night
You feeling chilly? throw my arms around you hold you tight
Let this heat inside show me you inspire life
And you the cosmic type energy excites your mind
Let me flow with you show me how the planets move
They aligning with our timing have you seen the moon?
I know you feel it too this energy is something new
Let my heart consume every little part of you
Look, It's a late night
We can stay up 'till the morning let the sun rise
We can laugh, make memories of those good times
Vibing to the twilight captivating moonlight
Look, It's a late night
We can stay up 'till the morning let the sun rise
We can laugh, make memories of those good times
Vibing to the twilight captivating moonlight
I hit your phone and I be asking if you're alright
And what you up to? Wanna go for a drive?
I take you somewhere girl I ain't the usual type, you know
So, baby let me scoop you up
This coupe is known for Baby Making Woman love
I know a place that we can vibe turn that volume up
And you can laugh at me the way that I just dodged the fox
I think it's sweet you entertaining me
We'll take a drive this is London, many sights to see
And like the eye you been circling my mind
Got me thinking how our paths they been more than intertwined
All this passion ain't for fashion
I'm alive with you I feel it ain't no capping

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.

This song is the best i think on the Paris album. The album version is barely audible anyway. The paris version howvere is loud and clear and funky.
