The speaker had a fantasy (could be cheating, could be murder, could be anything, its very open and I don't think that portishead wants to define anything in this sense), tried once, and is still VERY insecure weather to keep doing it or not, because it is a big change for her, for her personality... The song is about the indecision, not the fantasy in itself.
The Videoclip is amazing, Beth is in a spotlight, crosses a path of darkness and reaches light again... like she is lost crossing this dark places but going to the light again...
