Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
Well we'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way to prove
They still smell her on you
They still smell her on you
Smell her on you

My interpritation of the song is that he always keeps a wall up with everyone, because it hurts ot much to let people in. "Truth covered in security, I can't let you smother me, like to but it couldnt work." He clearly saying that he protects himself at all times and that it always ends badly wehn you let your guard down. But interestingly at the chorus he starts to talk about this one special person who hes willing to open himself up to even though he still has his doubts, e.g. "i still smell her on you". Fears she may be cheating. This is song is beautifully written and really portrays the human nature of keeping a guard up.
