First off, great song.

I definitely think the book metaphor carries through the whole song. "I'd sell my book for free... it's what you do to me." It sounds like he'd do absolutely anything for this person, he'd give HIMSELF away before he let them down.

"The press will impeach..." I think maybe he's talking about disapproving parentals. Get it. Press, books.

"I guess they'll read everything about you..." So sweet. He's saying SHE (I'm assuming she) is written all over him. Aw.

That's all I got. Again, great song.
