I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew
But no one said a word, it was contagious
Looked out the window and watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was: you saved my life
I won't forget it
You said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what it's worth
I got to love, I rode the rails
You came with me because you cared
I was broke and I was scared
You held my hand, took away my fears
We knew we couldn't last and that was hard
We looked out the windows, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was: you saved my life
I won't forget it
You said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what it's worth
I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew
But no one said a word, it was contagious
We looked out the windows, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was: well, you saved my life
I won't forget it
You said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
Oh, you said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
And came through your door
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew
But no one said a word, it was contagious
Looked out the window and watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was: you saved my life
I won't forget it
You said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what it's worth
I got to love, I rode the rails
You came with me because you cared
I was broke and I was scared
You held my hand, took away my fears
We knew we couldn't last and that was hard
We looked out the windows, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was: you saved my life
I won't forget it
You said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what it's worth
I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew
But no one said a word, it was contagious
We looked out the windows, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was: well, you saved my life
I won't forget it
You said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
Oh, you said, even if I left my girlfriend
Packed up my stuff and loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
And came through your door
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

I believe this song is sung from the point of view of a girl who was in a bad place in life, but a man came along and helped her get to a better place.
He was already in a relationship, but in the process of helping this girl, they became intimate. They both knew all along, however, the intimacy was not meant to last.
This song seems to take place at the moment he is telling her they can't continue to see each other as lovers. I envision them parked in a car "looking out the windows" and "watching the cars drive by" as they accept the fact they can no longer be intimate. She expresses her sincere appreciation for all he's done while at the same time lamenting that he cannot be hers.
