A plee to a lover to open up to all of love's possibilities.

The singer is saying he will drop his defenses and hopes his love will do the same.

Salt will rust the iron away
Rust makes the water taste that way
I'm sure that you've been hurt before
So have I, who's keeping score

Give yourself like the sea
Give yourself to me
And I will shed my armor
I will shed my armor

In a world where we are taught to take
Learn to give as good as you can make
The guilty pleasures you'd avoid
Could be the memories you'll most enjoy

Give yourself like the sea
Give yourself to me
And I will shed my armor
I will shed my armor

Love's a pointy sharp edged toy
You have to play with to enjoy
When you get beneath the skin
Is when the fun really begins

So I will stand here vulnerable
Give into the ocean's push and pull
Leave my armor on the shore
You won't be poisoned by it anymore

Give yourself like the sea
Give yourself to me
And I will shed my armor
I will shed my armor
