I believe this song is clearly about uncomfortable feelings with/after a one-night stand.
He wants to take her upstairs to his rooms, full of doubts. But he likes her inside , so it's hard for him to say no to her ("So you can push me around" instead of "right now", the lyrics really don't match the genuine but I have send a request for editing them).
If he goes home and she follows him, she has to keep her hands to herself. It's again about his difficulties saying no and, falling into a defensive and self-protecting attitude.
In the second verse, the deed is done. They "wake up with broken hands" and "bruised down below". He's making regrets because he should have "built higher walls" or "slept in his clothes" (self-protection again).
Finally he warns her to "luck up her prison" if they "see each other again", so he can "leave his gun at home". In my opinion he is referring to their genitals to underline that he doesn't want it to happen again, because otherwise it would end up in love.
I think the metaphors in this song describing the emotional difficulties that go hand-in-hand with a one-night stand are incredibly good. It's obvious that he likes her. For him it's more than just a fling, but for some reason he's scared of love. Although he likes to feel it, but only momentary.
