0:55Keep her from livin' her life out there
1:01'Cause she was meant for soaring
1:03And you were built for work
1:13She likes the way that you smoke cigarettes
1:18And you like the way that she never regrets
1:24Holdin' onto you like no one ever has
1:36If you were the darkness, then she'd be the sun
1:42There's some things in life that you cannot outrun
1:48The fact that she was meant for so much more than you
2:00A boy like you, with your faded tattoos
2:06Raspy voice, and a shitty attitude
2:12A motorcycle she likes holdin' tight to you on
2:23A boy like you, with your stories of shame
2:29And all of the reasons she won't have your name
2:35If you love that girl, then you've got to set her free
