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 (2x)


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)
