It's a juxtaposition of two different meanings of 'call me'.
It's a brilliant line reagrdless. Harvey Danger are one of my favourite bands for witty, creative lyrics. Sean Nelson's delivery always adds something as well. The "disembodied ringlets..." line is brilliant too.
The song is about he wants dive into this relationship and trying to talk round this girl who's not as crazy about him as he is about her. He lists a lot of his flaws that she sees ("call me childish" etc.). "The looming shapes of winter" are dark times just around the corner, so a reference to how she's cautious about entering a relationship with him because it might turn out badly.
