I honestly view this song as one of the most heavily religiously influenced Paramore has done. I think the overall theme is talking about being a Christian on earth and how Christians are "outsiders" in this world. I also think a comment is about searching for earthly goods and never being completely satisfied with them and always wanting more.
"The grass wasn�t green enough here
After watching you with my tears
I�m not sure where you went
We are, just past tense"
Talking about how what she has now isn't enough so she broke up with a current significant other to try to search for more.
"Oh, when I get there
it won�t be far enough"
Whatever she thinks she want, if it's found on this Earth, will never be enough.
"I�m a renegade
I always was"
Just basically talking about how Christians really are "renegades" on Earth and how what we believe is different than what the world often says.
"Well, your spark never lit up the fire
Though we tried and tried and tried
The wind came through your lungs
A hurricane from your tongue"
The spark, being the efforts to get Earthly satisfaction, never lit up the fire, never achieved what they really wanted and how despite that they kept trying.
