This was a totally different song to me before I read the lyrics. At first, I thought "Could we leave before it gets bad?" was "Could we leave before he gets back?" ...which made it seem like he was trying to pick up this beautiful woman who had a boyfriend (that was in the bathroom or at the bar) and he was going to burn the place down if he couldn't have her.
Now it's either a song about someone who can't fit in at parties (which I can relate to) or someone who's trying to get out of a relationship before it gets bad (the line "I thought we were doing fine with our lives/There are people who will tell you/There is always something better" supports that)
Either way, it's a freakin' beautiful song. I can't stop listening to it.
