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"
She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Well she doesn't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
She's not waiting on a savior to come
She's at a bus stop with the News of the World
And the Sun
Sun here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Well she knows just what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
Last night on earth
Slipping away
Slip slide
Too many slipping away
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away
She's living, living next week now
You know she's gonna to pay you back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night on earth
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Well she doesn't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
She's not waiting on a savior to come
She's at a bus stop with the News of the World
And the Sun
Sun here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Well she knows just what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
Last night on earth
Slipping away
Slip slide
Too many slipping away
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away
She's living, living next week now
You know she's gonna to pay you back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night on earth

Magical

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
“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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Politicians and media make everyone feel like living in reality- but we´re not.
She´s livin like its the last night on earth... she doesnt care what is worth... its just because this world is fake, it´s all a lie, all a movie...
Only she knows it, and she tries to live and receive happiness over this.
