To me the song is about someone you just can be with, but intrigues you. And you can't stop thinking about them, no matter how hard you try.
She's acting differently around this person, but likes this new person she's become:
"But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes, I discover//That I like her"
Yet, she doesn't feel ready for all these changes, and she doesn't feel ready to let this person she likes, all the way in. She's just not ready:
"Would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet"
And until she figures things out, and feels she's ready to feel comfortable with this person, she'd just prefer not to see them:
"Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go"
