I get the impression that both of them are actively involved elsewhere (either sleeping around or in a relationship, etc.) but there's something between them. It's not just sex, even though that's clearly how they intended for it to be.
The something more makes everything else harder ("terrible on the phone", "better when it's us all alone") because it's not supposed to be there, and besides, for many people, especially those who are already intimate, the physical actions mirror their emotional actions making sex the easiest way for them to communicate, even though it isn't actually explaining or mapping out anything that's going on.
I couldn't quite conceive a song with this level of passion being written to describe /just/ a fuck buddy.
