My interpretation of the song is that he is emotionally cold and quiet person but also a man of action, he communicates through his actions. He can't just come out and be all romantic but by his body language the girl he loves knows how much he wants to be with her and his actions toward her are warm considering his cold exterior.
@tinabinga Agree with your interpretation, but let me embellish by including my own thoughts.

IMO, this is a very dark, very typical "masculine" song. The singer of the song is a MAN, he wants to conquer the world and he does not have much thought for anything else. But he "adores" this woman who his "heart beats hardest for", and although he can't offer her his "sweater" (metaphor for his heart), he wants her to put her hands in his sleeves (a brief affair, or a tryst).

"Let's have an adventure; head...
"Let's have an adventure; head in the clouds, but my gravity's centered" – means he wants to have an affair/relationship with this woman, and he's high off their relationship, but still he is grounded enough to not let their relationship sway him from his goals: to conquer the world.
The chorus presses on the fact that he sees their relationship as a sexual thing. They are both driven by sex – "She knows what I think about, and what I think about's 'one love, two mouths, one love, one house, no shirt, no blouse, just us". The next line confirms that he is emotionally cold, and does not want to talk about anything personal: "You'll find out nothing that I really wanna tell you about"
The next verse also highlights their strictly sexual relationship: "If I may just take your breath away, I don't mind if there's not much to say, sometimes the silence guides our minds, so move to a place so far away" And the next lines, as they say it, is history.
"Inside this place is warm, outside it starts to pour" I believe illustrates the dark, gloomy, rainy, nature of this song. – The first line refers to how happy he feels with the woman in the house (where they are having sex), but outside it's raining.
