I think this song is about a man winning the heart of a woman without winning over her head. He continually reminds her that "instincts are misleading" and that you shouldn't "think what you're feeling". The imagry of a fish swimming in her veins says that he was able to reach her heart but couldn't pass the dam to her brain. Throughout the song he emphasizes the point with the reference to the lines of her body he follows with his eyes, succombing to his own emotions and urging her to do the same.
