I can't believe no one's commented on this song! It's absolutely gorgeous. I listen to it on repeat. From what I can tell, it's kind of dark. I tend to take things a bit literally... like maybe the character she's singing about actually set fire to a house, or the person she's supposed to have saved did, or at any rate there was a fire... some of it sort of sounds like going crazy with guilt over something.
