The song is about a girl (May) who gets pregnant, has an abortion and is sent away (to a place for troubled teens?) by her Catholic parents. The guy, still madly in love, wants to run away with her & get married (if she's up for it) so they can be together.

'Do you wake up on your own? And wonder where you are...' (she's obviously not waking up in her own bed)

'Don't you love the life you killed' (the abortion she had) 'The priest is on the phone' (self explanatory) 'Your father hit the wall' (as most fathers would) 'Your ma disowned you' (self explanatory)

'Don't supposed I'll ever know what it means to be a man' (he wanted to get married & be a father but she had the abortion)

'I wanna wake up where you are' (she's off someplace else)

'What you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful' (she doesn't feel too good about herself but he still thinks she's beautiful)

'Do you wanna get married, or run away?' (self explanatory)

Of course... I could be totally wrong!
