Yes, I believe the song is about sex...but I think it is about a shy guy and this is his first time and hers too. You can tell he wants to get freaky but he is shy and nervous: (And I was thinking of places that I could hide, I could tell that you could tell that I was takin' my time).

I think this song also has another meaning behind it. Look past all the literal verses of sex and what is there? A young couple feeling alive and young. There's this vitality to them and it poses the question, when you're in love are you going to go with the flow and let it happen? Let youth happen. (When she does it like this, will you do it like that? When she touches like this, will you touch her right back?)
