Contact metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions and results from high temperatures associated with the igneous intrusion. Since only a small area surrounding the intrusion is heated by the magma, metamorphism is restricted to the zone surrounding the intrusion, called a metamorphic or contact aureole

The molecules of a solid vibrate faster so that they start spreading out to become a liquid. This energy makes them vibrate faster so the bonds between molecules can't interact all that well anymore creating more distance. The stronger the bonds between the molecules the higher the energy (temperature) has to be to get them away from each other. Hope I didn't confuse you too much!
