I'm probably wrong, but I reckon this song is about the transition from childhood into adulthood. Letting the "genie out of the box" is a metaphor that refers to losing one's virginity.
The "I'm scared of opening the can" could relate to his fear of going for the gold, so to speak. The "she" is the chick he's with, who is obviously pressuring him for some action ("come back when you're alone", "maybe her road is a one-way street"). She senses his discomfort, and basically assures him that he'll always have his childhood memories, "She said there's a house in your mind..Don't leave it behind".
The "I let the genie out of the box" lyrics at the start and middle are just him trying to prepare for the feeling by attempting to convince himself, however at the end - after she comforts him - he actually let's it out of the box.
Whatever the meaning, this song kicks ass. Five stars.
