Essentially, the song is about a girl who feels comfortable and safe with a controlling lover. She knows that there is "something more" out there, but being with this person is hindering her exploration of it. ("You protect me...from what I want"). Knowing that she can't have both with this person ("Though if I took control, it will not be with you"), she decides to take charge of her life/happiness anyway.
