Ok, so here's my interpretation of the song-- I see this from two perspectives. Two people that don't normally open up are in a relationship. But A feels like B may be the person they actually open up for. B is still closed off:
Person A-- likes person B a lot but doesn't trust person B and B doesn't trust A either. A is trying to remain coolheaded about everything, but can't stand that although B doesn't want anything serious, it doesn't stop him from being sweet and romantic when they're together. Only when they're together though. A starts to open up but then B pulls away. So A is in this constant internal battle like "I want you, no I don't. I need you, no I don't. Just let me in! No don't. Alright, at least get it together. You can't just use me as an excuse for your "lover/ romantic booty call" until you figure all your baggage out. Wait, yes you can. Because I crave your touch when it's not there... so I guess I'll be back."
Person B-- Hates that he relies on A for physical pleasure and feels very connected when they're together but not when they're apart (out of sight, out of mind) until that temptation rises up again. Sees that A is falling for him but doesn't want it and because B knows that A doesn't open up easily, assumes that she's just tired of failed relationships so is fine with settling for him. So B is like "I do like you. But I don't want to. And not like that anyway. Besides, you can't use me as an excuse for your "lover/ prince charming", that's not me. Damn it, we can't do this anymore... But I do need your warmth occasionally, so I'll be back"
