this is such a sexy song, i love it.

honestly, i think the meaning's pretty simple... it's basically about pure infatuation with a person, almost obsession. you know when you get those crushes on people and you just cannot get them out your head and you feel like they've taken over your life? it's a song about that...and i agree with what someone posted previously...that he doesnt know whether he'd rather act on his feelings so he can move on or pursue it or just not know the answer and continue with the infatuation, thus torturing himself about it essentially.

very, very sexy song. and one of those songs that each listener can interpret how they like...

My Interpretation

This is the BEST definition of the song. Infatuation, that's the word. He doesn't want to know if it's infatuation or is real love (althought he knows that he knows it), and that's in part why he doesn't want to find another person, because he's not sure. This song's message is very powerful and clear. As you said, infatuation.

I had the same interpretation. Especially because I am feeling these exact things. It's almost as if I had written it, except if I actually had it would be awful, and not this amazingly sexy song, as you said, and I concur!
