i really think these lyrics make more sense than any of their other songs! it's about some overbearing guy (that's what "the leanover" refers to, or maybe some kind of "lean-to"-style love nest) who the singer is at first romantically longing for and is scared of losing, but then she starts to doubt the nature of his "contact" and finally decides she doesn't like it.
or, even more explicitly, it's about fellatio: kind of boring for the woman, sometimes.
