She's in love And the world gets blurry She makes mistakes…
“She's in love And the world gets blurry She makes mistakes And she's in no hurry to grow up Cuz grownups they don't understand her Well it's a big, big world out there And she's not scared She thinks that nobody cares about her problems And she's probably right But it's alright You'll be fine If you just stay with me Whoa oh We get one step closer but we're still so far away Whoa oh It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today She finds hope in the strangest places She reads her books And she knows the faces of everyone That ever said she's alone She knows every word to the saddest songs And she sings along Though her friends all tell her That she can't sing But it's alright You'll be fine If you just listen to me Whoa oh We get one step closer but we're still so far away Whoa oh It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today She's eighteen Much too young to know what a kiss like that would mean But her lips, they weren't no stranger to the touch And she liked it way too much She never listened to a word her daddy told her She finds company with her cigarettes And feels alone when the sunset And please Don't let this be love Or can it be enough This college town is too small for both of us So we're running away We'll pack our bags and take the first train And we're getting the hell out of here This place could burn for all we care Getting the hell out of here (This pace could burn for all we care) This place could burn for all we care So getting the hell out of here (Hold me till then) This place could burn for all we care Whoa oh (This place could burn for all we care) We get one step closer but we're still so far away (Hold me till then) Whoa oh (This place could burn for all we care) It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today (Hold me till then) (Hold me till then)”
