Eirenightshade, I agree with both of your theories. It could be about some kind of affair. But I've ALWAYS thought he was talking about his partner letting him do something that was somehow forbidden. You can feel the urgency, the longing for it. And this naughty-dark-sexual tone was actually a very important factor of the seduction that Savage Garden was about (at least at the beggining - then after TMD and IKILY they started to be seen like familiar-sweet balladists). But this sound is truly delicious for us listeners, you can easily get lost in this confusing-tempting atmosphere.
