This song is about a casual relationship, but a relationship in which which both sides would like more from. But neither will admit it. She wants more from him in terms of commitment and obvious signs of affection, and he wants some flexibility, and to know that he's the one that she wants. So, basically, it's a total mess.
There are hints too that for some reason, this relationship makes them both feel guilty. In some sense it's a forbidden relationship - probably due to it being a purely casual, physical one.
So it's about both sides realising this, but realising too that it's their own mess. It's special to them. And even a messy relationship can give love and light to the people in it if they both admit it, embrace it, and deal with any consequences.
