I've always thought that this song describes the feelings a girl faces before losing her virginity. The narrator is just expressing the feelings she has but is not an actual character in the situation. For this girl, she knows that she has to lose her virginity eventually, and even if she doesn't feel ready, she feels pressured to give herself to someone. Hence the line, "So why is it so hard for you to touch him/For you to go and give yourself to him (or Jesus)." I noticed the lyrics given here stop at "give yourself to him" when the version I have of this song says "give yourself to him or Jesus," which backs up my interpretation of the song.
This song marks the progression of the relationship this girl has with a guy from something innocent to something sexual. They may have been dating, and she knows that eventually they will have to have sex. When they start taking off their clothes is when she sees their differences and when everything becomes real: "Cos once it's underway/There's no escaping/The fact that you're a girl and he's a boy."
As things go further and further, she wants to stop it but knows she can't because they've gone too far. She then begins to question how she got there in the first place. She feels this conflict of whether she really wants this to happen or if she just feels as if she should have sex with him (or anyone). She tries to convince herself that it's what she wanted ("If you close your eyes and just remember/That this is what you wanted last night"), but it does nothing to get rid of the bad feelings she still has when she wakes up.
This is how I've always interpreted the song. I think it's amazing that we can all listen to the same words and music and find such different meanings.
At first i thought it was about a girl that was going to bed with two guys or maybe that her boyfriend saw her with other guy and then he obligated her to sleep with him while he watches them by now I think it's exactly what you said :D hahaha good interpretation ;)
