for me this song is like not giving up.. from a religious perspective there could be moments where you think god doesn't care about you and thats why bad things happen, and the boy's clinging on to one thing that could be salvaged from the wreckage.. and then at the end he realises he has to move on so he throws it away, and goes back to 'the town that all of us burn' --> could be reference to giving up on religion once bad things happen but he doesn't. and i havent deciphered the girl's bit yet.
