While one would consider this a song about revenge, it hides a deeper meaning:
"Forgive what you get. I guess you haven't learned that lesson yet. Or maybe, do I have that other way around?"
It's about mirroring the actions of the other to help them see how to take responsibility for themselves and to grow from that. The "burning down" just uses a visual analogy for destroying the building or "barrier" that they both are held back by. Holding them both back of true closure and forgiveness.
His desire to destroy this is merely a reflection of his anger. Or wanting something to "stop". Perhaps so he can continue to grow instead of lingering on his broken promises, or "arrows".
There are several corrections to the lyrics that need to be made. The most important is revealed by watching their animated video:
"The fire I set. I see it hasn't reached your -ROOM- yet. And I know you'd never survive the fall all the way to the ground."
But is he truly wanting to destroy her? Or just the broken promises made by the relationship? Depends on who's rolling on the ground... mocking or trying to overcome the pain.
