I think that the eagle-dove metaphor could refer to the idea that the narrator is viewing her relationship from above. She views romance as a delusion that she can't fully participate in since she is busy analyzing it. The last line of the song provides a great double meaning: she is "preying" on this man (i.e. seducing) but also praying for herself since she understands that she is setting herself up to get hurt.
