For what it is worth, this is my interpretation of the song...

The singer's girlfriend/wife is out of town. He's feeling lonely and wants a shoulder to cry on, so he contacts someone from his past. He knows that this person loves him. It seems like he has feelings for her too ("So many things that I want to say"), but believes her to be too young for him. He knows that he's not available for her long-term, thus the line "I just want to use your love tonight."

It seems like they've gotten together before, and at one point his feelings for the person (and/or his guilt about what he’s doing) become overwhelming. ("Try to stop my hands from shaking. But something in my mind's not making sense. It's been a while since we were all alone. But I can't hide the way I'm feeling.")

Once the singer’s needs have been met (sexual and/or emotional), his focus is on making sure that the encounter is kept secret. ("As you're leaving please would you close the door? And don't forget what I told you.)

I take the line, "Just 'cause you're right that don't mean I'm wrong" to mean that the singer knows that the person is right in wanting more from the relationship, but feels that he is also right in staying with Josie.
