I partially agree with Hazeleyedpisces2, in the respect that the song is about being afriad to get close to someone. But i think its about an affair. Chino divorced his wife shortly before the making of SNW, i think, because he had an affair with another woman. I think the song shows his anxieties and fear about being trapped in a relationship and being too aprehensive to 'walk...outside'. He also knows what he is doing is wrong 'stay away from you', and so he's torn between his own morals and lust for another. It's quite a sensitve subject, so I'm not sure if he'd write the lyrics for such a catchy song lol, but those were my initial thoughts after reading some of the other comments
