I think this song has a little more to it then just sex. I think that it has to deal with the emotions of two people who are in love when they make love for the first time. Obviously, he is trying to reassure this girl that he knows she is nervous, but she should just be herself, and that she has nothing to worry about because he loves her. He tells her to just lose track of time (“put time in a capsule”), and to get lost in the moment.

i think this song is about two gay men. one of which has no experience yet. the experienced guy knows exactly what its like to be someones "first". he knows he is opening up a whole new world to this person and eventually may become just a stepping stone.
