This song is obviously about 2 people that are having an affair. They are in the same circle of friends, or possibly coworkers. They're both in committed relationships, but their lust and attraction for each other made this an accident waiting to happen...
See below...
Touch your thighs, I'm the lonely one (she's subtly teasing him in front of others and he feels irritated by it)
Remember that last sweat ‘cause that was the right one (he thinks of the steamy times they've had sneaking around...)
Oh, all your mysteries are moving in the sun (he's blinded by this attraction)
And show some love and respect
Wanna get some love and respect (he's angry because despite his attraction for her, he still loves another and this girl is in denial of that)
Baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie (they exchange "knowing" looks in public places)
Don't give up your lover tonight (He doesn't want her to do anything that will expose this affair)
Cause it's just you, me and this wire, all right
Let's tend to the engine tonight (This is about trying to fix (end) this matter over the phone)
Look out
She found a lonely sound (he's being quiet on the other end of the line)
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh love, can you love me, babe?
Love, is this loving, babe? (This girl loves this guy and tries to convince him he loves her back...)
Is time turning around? (He wants her to understand that maybe in an alternate past this could have worked out)
Feast your eyes, I'm the only one (He kinda relishes in the fact that she's hooked)
Control me, console me
Cause that's just how it should be done (This is a description of their turbulent "romance")
Oh, all your history's like fire from a busted gun (He really doesn't give a crap about her problems, past or present)
I show some love and respect
Don't wanna get a life of regret (He is trying to do the right thing and stop doing things he knows he will regret, such as this affair)
We slip into the bedroom
Babe, you know me
This is alright (He keeps falling back into this same pattern,,,)
Holdings we'll make soon will
Sustain us through the night
Inside my bedroom baby
Touch me, Oh tonight
Poses will make soon
Will reveal our sense of right (It feels SO right, it justifies the wrong)
You should be in my space
You should be in my life (This is about her "walking in his shoes" and understanding where he's coming from, not him wanting her as a permanent part of his life)
