Hills Like White Elephants Lyrics

Lyric discussion by bheat1 

Cover art for Hills Like White Elephants lyrics by Isles and Glaciers

"Don't start, Don't start, shaking again She can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands but If love is a way out, then please let me in Don't start, darling Don't you turn my nightmares into dreams again."

so on this part does "she can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands" mean she can make something bitter seem sweet?

and does "if love is a way out then please let me in" mean if love is an escape then let him into her world so he can escape....or since its a way out he wants to get in to stay away from it?
