I think this song is about being a guarded person, keeping people at a distance because you've been burned in past experiences. It seems like in the verses he's trying to rationalize being standoffish "You be the good one that gives it up first
Or the bad one that never gets hurt" But the chorus and the soul of the song is about being in that moment with someone, ready to let go. "Alright stay, you've got my attention" Letting go of that pain, pouring out your bottled affection i think is throwing caution to the wind and saying Let's do this.
