I think the narrator is in a troubled relationship. Maybe it's failed and over. He really is in love (I believe in what you do, I believe in watching you), so he withdraw into the lover, like if he's losing touch with himself and his abilities. He has some great qualities and possibilites (hence the "given the.." part), but he can't really face leaving or misplacing the lover, 'cause he's so smitten. But sometimes, when he's hurt, he has to find himself thinking about the fact that he actually has some great powers and abilities to make it on his own. He can be mad at her, and just feel and be stimulated by the fact that he knows that he can "turn you inside-out", which I see as a raw power. It's not necessarily a physical thing, but more like a mental possesion. He know that he is better, but the love keeps him down, so he has to grab the positive moments where he convince himself that he can make it afterall.
