I love how folky this is.
I always kind of thought it was about that thing that guys do when they push away respectable girls that they might actually feel something for, and instead go for the easy ones because they're afraid of getting emotionally involved.
"...and you won't let me in unless I'm dirt."
And of course, the frustration coming from the girl who loves him/the girl being pushed away. It's the whole "I hate you because I love you, why can't you let me in?" scenario.
