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"
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good
Don't you know?
From your head to your toes
Gonna love you all over, over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I'm so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you, baby
I can't get to nothing else
No, no, no, come on baby
I'm so into you
Love the things you do
Listen baby, driving me crazy, oh
Love the things you do
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good
Don't you know?
From your head to your toes
Gonna love you all over, over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I'm so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you, baby
I can't get to nothing else
No, no, no, come on baby
I'm so into you
Love the things you do
Listen baby, driving me crazy, oh
Love the things you do

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”

“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.
Come on folks! Stop leaving stupid comments and actually freaking interpret the lyrics! This is songmeanings.com not "song ratings" or, "share a life story.com".
Anywho, this man is has such an inward burning passion for this woman that he desires her intimately, too. It's to the point that it's driving him crazy because she consumes his mind. All he does is think if her.
This song is straight up sex. “Thinking how it's going to be” - he’s thinking about the sex they’ve had & can’t wait to do it again. “Whenever I get you next to me. It's gonna be good. Don't you know?” - self explanatory. They have good sex. “From your head to your toes” - pure lust, the tingles you get while having sex. “Gonna love you all over, over and over” - he’s going to fug her over & over again. “Me into you, you into me, me into you” - he’s going to be “in” her. She’s going to be into him. So, pretty much all the thrusting.
So, it’s not about love. Just obsession, lust & sex.
IMHO.. I think he's definitely overcompensating because he knows she rocked his world.. and she only wishes she could've said the same thing. She tried to not hurt his feelings though because he really did try very hard. So she feels bad about letting him continuously try when she knew it was a waste of time.
@ImYourTerror <br /> <br /> She never quite knew how to tell him he wasn't capable. So she feels super bad about letting him spend so much time trying. Kinda.
I love this song!
Great, unknown, underrated song. The bluesy guitar is addictive.
Their sound changed a great deal since "Spooky". For the better in some ways.
when you walked into the room.. there was voodoo in the bag ... i was captured by your staff, but i coud not catch a ride
I am so into you... i can't thank another nurse
^^ that's how i sang along to it the past 40+ years
This song was inspired by co-writer Robert Nix\' love (from afar) for Leslie Hawkings. Leslie was a member of The Honkettes - the female backing singers for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Was a 'long distance dedication' from Ed in Los Angeles to Erika at Stanford University on American Top 40 for 02 December, 1978
