I think this song is about a man who likes a woman he can't be with...or that he shouldn't be with.
"You've become the target of this hand with never even asking", I think it means that she didn't do anything to make him like her, but she has become his "target".
And when it says "So how could your hair
have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing" I think it means that he likes that her hair does that, but that it shouldn't because it "tempting" him and he can't be with her... so he's waiting for a "90-mile water wall" and a "trap door trigger" to take him out of her view, so that he doesn't have to look at her hair blowing temptingly at him. And it says "90-mile water wall" because it's something impossible, something that it's not going to happen and he know that it's not going to happen so he's not going to stop looking at her and her hair.
An I think the rest of the song is about him telling her how he feels, and the conversation that goes with that, like in the "Yes I'm listening I'm listening, I can tell that you are serious", they are argueing about it.
Sorry if that was a bit long, but this is my favorite song of that album and this is what I think the lyrics mean :P.
Ooh, I like what you said about him waiting for the impossible, because he really doesn't want to let go and stop looking. I think you're totally right.
