Gavin DeGraw – She Holds a Key Lyrics 17 years ago
I don't think the song is necessarily about cheating.

There are many parts in the world in which having relationships/dating is not allowed because it is against religion/customs/tradition. Marriages are usuallu more or less arranged to the satisfaction of the parents.
In such an environment, the song would apply perfectly because they would both be sinning, going against what they were were brought up to believe and the society they are in.

"We are all we need
We can not fail
We must not falter
We must not tell to those
Who seek our souls
To take our precious hearts
Our hearts are our own
Are hearts are our own
We must not falter
We must not fail
We must not
We
No we must not tell "

That last part stresses the need for secrecy as such a relationship between an unmarried couple will never be condoned...it has this underlying note that there is no thrill in sinning, it just is what it is so maybe they've tried being together but for whatever reason, family/social/traditional restrictions, could not.

And there is the ultimate admission that they are 'our' hearts, and hence 'our' call.
