I think this song is about a girl who is ashamed to be dating Matthew.
"A soft sound
To the way she wears her hair down
Covering up her face
Oh what a let down
I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place"
He is head-over-heels about her and she just wants to hide her face when they're out in public. Usually things are great between them, but he doesn't "seem to be having any effect now" that they're out in public.
"But you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you"
He feels sort of used for sexual purposes. She doesn't really talk to him anymore and they're only 'speaking in bodies.'
"But you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
Cause I stay another hour or two"
Despite her cold nature towards him, he can't help himself and sticks around.
"For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you"
This strikes me as something he thinks she feels. An attitude from her that he shouldn't be upset because he should know that it's not socially acceptable to be dating him.
"We get back to my house
Your arms, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you"
But when they're away from the public eye, she's all over him.
"A small town
Dictating all the people we get around
What a familiar face
Do you get what I mean now?
I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound
And hair all over the place"
Just hammering home the point. They live in a small town where anyone could recognize them and she doesn't want word getting around that she's with him.
"But you're sure that I'd learn
I'm pushing through bodies
Avoiding me and walking around you
But you're cold and I burn
I guess I'll never learn
Cause I stay another hour or two"
He continue to pursue a relationship despite her cold disposition and avoidance in public.
