Maybe she's in a relationship, but she starts to hear rumors about the guy, or starts seeing things in him she doesn't want to be with- and now its like the relationship is being forced on her.
"I had a moment
Of doubtful suspension
But it's almost forgotten
It's been pulled away"
--she starts to get suspicious of him, but someone is controlling her, telling her to stop being "paranoid" and enjoy what she's got. The guy she's with, or someone else? Maybe both, which would explain "too many hands".
The chorus basically says she can't fall, she can't get away to make her own mistakes because there's always someone controlling her 'for her own good'... forcing her to stay in the relationship.
