I love the 80s-ish feel of this song, although it was suprisingly pop after the rest of the album. The meaning is pretty obvious, same as everyone else has said. The way the feel makes it seem like she doesn't want it to be him but does at the same time is clever.
On the lyrics:
Love the line gravity_is_not quoted above, and I also thought the Rolling Stones reference was cute --
"I see a red jeep and I want to paint it black"
(paraphrases the Stones' "Paint It Black")
The only line I don't like is the last, it's just kind of cheesy.
