i think this song is about her when she was young haveing a relationship with a much older guy....she looks back on it now and realises it was wrong...the verses are what he was saying to her when she was young and the courses is what shes say back to him from the future now that shes older....i also think he was in the music bissness and was telling her he would get her in the bissness hence the:
"You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me "
