In place of jumping to the obvious conclusion lets consider whether the song is :
Dialogue
Monologue
The first singer (male/female) of the couple wants more from her/himself or the couple. Meaning this is the dynamic person in the couple who wants to move in, get married, get children or get a career for him/herself.
Always moving forward and trying to reach the next level in relationship, personal life or career this driving person has been trying in vain to get them both moving forward, but he has failed ("not on the list"). The active person in the couple is exhausted in trying to move on.
The reply comes from the passive person from the couple, who is happy with the "status quo" and stay as they are. Just kissing or in physical contact without further commitment or actively developing the relationship (or holding back the personal development of the other).
Becoming something more (different) is not what the second party wants. She doesnt want to go beyond this stage of couple or personal development.
The second person is not ready to "unroll" Clark Kent and become Superman, as she is too comfortable in her current situation. Like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, she is not ready to transform herself or the relationship in something different. The next level is not for her.
She doesnt want to "risk" moving together, getting married or taking that new job or moving to a new city/country ("where you wanna go").
She is not fit to be superhero who tries improve herself or the relationship. Physical "kissing" and status quo is maximum she can do. She is the passive one who is dragging the couple and the first person back both in the relationship and at personal level.
Have you been the first (active - pushing forward) person in the relationship, or the second one who is not ready to commit, not ready to move, not ready for transformation (caterpillar / butterfly)? Both of them are exhausted in the relationship due to the difference in pace, timing and effort put in making it work.
