I think it's about people who sleep together. He's got this thing going on with this girl where there's a purely physical attraction and things tend to happen when they're together. But that's it.

I don't need you crowding up my space I just want to get inside you

A part of him wants to be with her for real:

Oh, how I want you to know me Oh, how I wish I was somebody else, baby Oh, how I wish you could own me

But ultimately he's not ready for that kind of commitment.

I am the flame, I can't get burned.

He's reminding her that it's just sex, nothing more.
