I like this a lot. I interpreted the lyrics as having something to do with... um, awkwardness? Like he wants to sleep with this chick, but he's intimidated or anxious about it. Or maybe it's not sexual, and he's just kind of apprehensive about begining a relationship with her? I don't know. Maybe the 'can't stop looking back' implies that he's been hurt in relationships before, and he's scared of starting a new one?
