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'm busy talkin' to this guy
When I see outta the corner of my eye...
Look who's here, how you doin'.
Why don't you tell me who let you in?
[Chorus]
We don't care if you think our party's cool
'Cause we do!
And we don't care if you had more fun in Sunday School
'Cause who invited you? Who invited you?
Who invited you?
What do I have to do to get rid of you? Who invited you?
You say you're everyone's best friend
But last night you made fun of all them
You never told me not to tell...
You trusted me, but you don't know me that well!
[Chorus]
We don't care if you think our party's cool
'Cause we do!
And we don't care if you had more fun in Sunday School
'Cause who invited you? Who invited you?
Who invited you?
What do I have to do to get rid of you?
Who invited you?
Who invited you?
Who invited you?
What do I have to do to get rid of you?
Who invited you?
Face it dude, you can't beat me
In your Charlie Brown shirt and Cavariccis.
Baby, you come up to my waist
You need a barstool to get up in my face...
[Chorus]
We don't care if you think our party's cool
'Cause we do!
And we don't care if you had more fun in Sunday School
'Cause who invited you? Who invited you?
Who invited you?
What do I have to do to get rid of you?
Who invited you?
Who invited you?
Who invited you?
What do I have to do to get rid of you?
Who invited you?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
