I think that the singer's love interest is a shy, diffident sort of person, but she knows that he's attracted to her, so she is trying to reach out and bring him out of his lonely state ("shooting out the walls of heartache") into a passionate sexual relationship. She views herself as his knight in shining armor, with the gender roles reversed. That's how I see it, anyway. This is one of my favorite songs.
