This might be one of my favorite songs on the new album. Born & Raised is about John growing into adulthood and this song is about finding that someone who he can finally settle down with and start a life/home with instead of running away.
"You know my paper heart, the one I fill with pencil marks, I think I might have gone and inked you in"
After all of the women he has been with, he is telling her that she is the last one to forever be in his heart.
"It's so good you didn't see the nervous wreck I used to be..... You never look at me like I'm a liability, I bet you'd think I've never been at all"
She is overlooking his past ways and into the future of their relationship. She doesn't hold what he did against him. He is admitting that yes he has made mistakes but she looks past them and doesn't judge him for them.
Yeah, I agree with that interpretation, and I think that that metaphor of him pencilling the other lovers into his heart but writing this latest on in in ink is really beautiful.
