It's kinda funny actually how i understand the lyrics a lot different than most of you guys but here is my opinion; She thinks this love is a temptation - she simply can't help being in love with this guy but she also knows from previous relationships/crush that the chances of love ending happily ever after are very very small. She knows that this will end with her getting hurt but she is so in love that she chooses not to listen to herself. This explains for example the line; "I hear the sound of my own voice, Asking you to stay" - she knows its not good if he stays because then she will fall in love - and then get hurt someday - but she simply cant help herself asking him anyway to stay. The lines "that nothing safe is worth the drive, i will follow you follow you home" means at she doesn't want to drive home because she wants to take the walk with him alone in the dark. She thinks that what they have is not "safe" and is actually kind of a danger since they both know that if they continue like this they will fall in love with each other (if its not already too late - his name has echoed through her mind)
