I think this song is about the emotional contemplation of a person about to have their first casual sex, and the fear of not being approved of by their own morals and the morals of her family. I also think this person starts to feel emotions to this boy that she souldn't have, because she knows it's just casual. So... here it goes.
"That boy, take me away, into the night.
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest.
I'll do, what ever you say, to me in the dark."
-She meets a boy, And even though it's usually the man convincing the women
to have intercourse, I feel this doesn't apply here. The reason I think this is
because she says "Take me away" and "I'll do whatever you say". Personally i think that she is throwing herself at him.
"Scared i'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask
of familiar name on a birthday card."
-This is where I think she is pondering "What would my family think of this?" because she says "By a familiar name on a birthday card" as in someone in her family is going to reprimand her for this.
"Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles.
'You're too old to be so shy he says to me so I stay the night."
-She says 'blow out all the candles' because candles signify romance, And she knows this is just casual sex. When the boy says 'You're too old to be so shy' I think that she started second guessing herself and he was basically saying 'grow up, you're going to be fine' just in more of a romantic way..
"Just a young heart, confusing my mind
But we're both in silence. Wide-eyed X2.
Like we're in a crime scene."
-Here she is trying to convince herself that it doesn't mean anything, that it's just sex. But then she thinks that it must be more, because of the beauty and emotion of the moment when they are staring into eachothers eyes. The 'Like we're at a crime scene' part is her feeling guilty and knowing that she, and her family, would not approve.
"'Cause I have brittle bones it seems
I bite my tongue and i touch my dreams."
-This I think is her describing the sex they finally have. How she felt so fragile in the arms of this man.
"Have a little voice to speak with,
and a mind of thoughts and secrecy"
-This is the aftermath, And she's thinking about how much this person affected her, but she couldn't tell him because it was supposed to be just casual, but she cannot stop herself from feeling something more.
"Things cannot be reversed
Learn from the times that we are cursed
Things cannot be reversed."
-This is her regretting being with him. She is saying things cannot be reversed, but if she could, she would go back and not do it. The part about being cursed is her knowing that her family wouldnt approve and that she is cursed with the obligation of keeping the secret, but the least she can do is learn from it.
"Learn from the ones we fear the worst
And learn from the ones we hate the most."
-She is saying again to learn from this situation. To learn from her family that she fears she will not receive approval from. and learn from this boy that she now despises.
The Chorus repeats
"'Cause we both know i'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat.
Company under covers.
Filling space in your sheets."
-All of these lines are her recognizing that this can only be tonight, no more.
