Dashboard Confessional – I Light My Own Fires Now Lyrics 15 years ago
i believe this song displays a message. something sincere. more broad then it seems.
i think it's talking about people controlling you. like parents, authority, boss', etc.
this song is talking about freedom. freedom to be yourself. control you own life -> "i light my own fires now".
it's about someone coming into realization of where they stand.
it's possible that "you" is not referring to a "girl", but to the writer himself.

i don't know, something to consider i suppose!
