"Maybe I could open you up" -- definitely means sex. Later he changes it to "maybe you could open up to me" which is the emotional/mental part of a relationship. She is scared to open up to him (perhaps she knows that the first part of his attraction to her is physical and not emotional, so she tells him that she wants to be alone). He was scared as well, which is why it was easier to hide the truth. And now he's realizing that he won't be able to get her at all, physically or emotionally.
But the main thing I wanted to comment is that while I don't know much about music, whatever it is, guitar I guess, sounds like moaning, which also adds to the fact that he wants to be "sharing the same bed."
This song, then, is about the gulf separating two people when they only connect physically ("we do all the things that lovers do").
