I agree that this song seems to be about first love that was lost but at a slightly different angle.
I feel like, obviously this song is about her first crush/love Daniel Larusso. But of course, he wasn't real. She didn't personally know him, but in admiring from afar, he felt like "home" to her, like she knew his soul. I feel like this song is about trying to find the real version of Daniel in someone else. Like in the last verse with the "goodbye bed", it seems like she's saying goodbye to the unrealistic crush she has on this fictional persona and is realizing she needs to find someone in the real world to love.
"Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as my head spun 'round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again"
So she realizes that her idealistic crush on this celebrity was childish but now she seems determined to find someone in her own life that reminds her of the soul and "fire" that first attracted her. This can be attributed to everyone's first love because I feel like after that person (if you ended it when you didn't want to) is the person you compare every love/crush afterwards to and it is the hardest battle to give up looking for the perfect replacement. She describes it so beautifully by comparing it to a child crush. The lyrics and music are so haunting and dreamlike. I want to live in this song.
