To me, as someone with SPD.. This is an interesting view into how I know partners I've had in the past have felt about me, so it's even more heartbreaking for that fact. More info on SPD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder (tl;dr = there is a fundamental disconnect between the person I am to others, and the person I am to myself. Things don't really happen to me, they happen to my body, my shell, what have you).
To me, the song is absolutely about romantic lust, but for someone who he just can't quite get to in a way that's satisfying to him. He's intently interested in this person that's horribly disconnected, and while he wants to connect, he's finding a 'dam'... a breakwater that he can't seem to get past.
That's just what the song means to me. It's sad and lovely, and easily one of my favorites... Did I mention that nearly all audiophiles like myself are SPD? :)
