Definitely about a relationship. There is a tone of desperation in lyrics, desperation, passion and insistence. The singer clearly is enamored with whoever he is singing to. But I think that he is unsure about the feelings of the "you" in the song. It's like he wants her, but doesn't want to force it---he wants her to want him. And for some reason there is confusion or perhaps she has an emotional wall built up to protect herself from being hurt, or maybe it's a forbidden love type situation. He wants her to want him, and take the lead.
The bit about the stones---"below" him, makes me picture him lying on his back trying to hold back these stones. I think the stones represent his unbridled feelings & emotions, and he is trying to keep his composure, keep his own wall and hold them in, but if she doesn't take control soon, he is going to burst and his feelings will take control.
Definitely a song about walls and wanting someone but wanting them to want you first. Walls and insecurities. An unwillingness to let your emotions get the best of you and dive into something which may hurt you.
Love the song. Reminds me of my current relationship.
