I get the literal interpretations but I also sense some kind of bitter sarcasm going on.
I think it's kind of like a role reversal or something...instead of getting her heart broken by this person, she's juxtaposing their positions by saying "Just don't fall...". I think she's heard this so many times before that she's imagining saying it to someone else for a change.
For me, I hear the wistfulness in it. Like she really does like him, and she wants to love him, but she can't. She's resigned to the fact that they have to be friends because something is stopping it.

Maybe one of them already has someone, maybe they both do, but she likes him a whole lot. If they were to end up falling in love it would end up terribly. So she's content with being just friends, just having him confide in her and trust her.

@ajklopotoski Hm, I somehow Imagine that Robyn could have written the lyric, but it is said that it is covered, I don`t know.
She liked the song much, could the lyric well, and covered it, perhaps.

Anyway, I remember vaguely that I was with Robyn at a tour in US, when that text and lyric emerged. The tour was perhaps taken place between 1999/2001 and 2010, sometime.

I "hanged" with her at that time, during her tour, and such.

It is almost like that she, Robyn, made or emerged the lyric, as a reply to me, that literally hanged...

She could be very kind in a way, by saying that okay we can work something out, but be patient, we'll take it as it comes, and if you do me right, you can spend more time with me, but I advise you not to fall in love too much, because then you can get hurt, etc. Very good text in that sense, I think.
She could be kind, but also quite strict, I can vaguely remember, hehe. But, but I believe she has become somewhat milder, and more moderate, over the years.

Is that totally out of left field?
