I think that this song is about the stages of life from beginning to end.
'Everything is catching on fire' - the chaos of birth
'Fingertips' - the doctor's figertips, as some others have said.
'I hear the wind blow' - learning about the earth
'Hey now everybody now' - learning to talk
'I found a new friend underneath my pillow' - having trouble making friends
'Come on and wreck my car' - irresponsibility
'Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?' - dealing with bullies and being defenseless
'Please pass the milk, please' - being dependant on others
'Leave me alone, leave me alone' - teenager
'Who's knocking on the wall?' - living in an apartment
'All alone all alone' - single
'What's that blue thing doing here?' - ???
'I didn't know what had my hand/But that's when all my troubles began' - Being controlled in a bad job
'I don't understand you' - trouble in relationships
'I heard a sound' - getting worried about life
'Mysterious whisper' - a real relationship
'The day that love came to play' - self-explanatory...
'I'm having a heart attack' - also self-explanatory
'Fingertips' - mortician's fingertips
'I walk along darkened corridors' - the afterlife?
