I think this song is about a relationship where the narrator thought it was going to work, and wanted it to, but it isn't.. it's falling short of his expectations, and the relationship is loveless and confining.. but he can't, for whatever reason, leave.

: Whenever we hold each other
: We hold each other

When they hold each other, it is nothing more than the physical act of holding.  No emotion is involved.  It's just one person holding another, plain and simple.

: There's a feeling that's gone
: Something has gone wrong
: And I don't know how much longer I can take it
: House made of heart break it

heart break/heartbreak... We built this house of heart, now it's broken.

: Take my head in your hands and shake it

I have no control, you even move my head as you like.. I submit.

: in this near wild heaven
: Not near enough.

It could be something wild and wonderful, but we're too far from it.  Too far from each other?  Maybe.

: Living inside
: Living inside
: Near wild heaven

I live inside, I am confined... out of reach of this possible bliss.

: Whatever it takes I'm giving
: It's just a gift I'm given

I seem to have this talent for spineless submission.

: Try to live inside
: Trying to move inside

I'm doing my best given these confining circumstances.

: And I always thought that it would make me smarter
: But it's only made me harder

(I'm sorry, but I go with the erection camp on this one...) I'm not even getting any, for God's sake! (Though it could def. be harder in terms of I am becoming a more difficult person...)

: My heart thrown open wide

I'm giving it all away to you.

: In this near wild heaven
: Not near enough.

: Living inside
: Living inside
: Near wild heaven

: I'm holding my hands together
: I'm holding my feet together
: I'm holding myself together

Binding imagery?  
I'm trapped, but I'm keeping a steady head about it, at least.

: In this near wild heaven
: Not near enough
