I always thought this was a good song to describe a woman's first time with another woman. She doesn't have to be gay, or even to do it ever again; she just has to be satisfied with both having been brave enough to have the experience, and also to walk away from it to ponder what it means, if anything. Really, though, it could be about ANY first time sexual experience that a person has been reluctant to do (hence the title, "Central Reservation," I should think). I just think it fits a F2F scenario, mainly because of that second line. I have been able to smell and taste female lovers on my fingers and breath before; but she's singing it, and all I can do is relate in that way. Of course, I'm not saying any of this to be a creepy pervert. I think the song is beautiful, and has a sense of relief, self-discovery, freedom, and empowerment...
...although, the version I have does seem to have some different lyrics, so I could be way off base--LOL!
