This song is about two people who have been persuaded into believing (by a fox) that they should burn down a house. As they walk away from the burning house, their is a sense of regret and they return asking each other if they can "chase the fire away".
The additional lyrics, which have been excluded from their album, paint a darker image. A darker image which to them is associated with the house; this probably made it easier for the fox to persuade them to burn the house down. In the end I'm led to believe that the two associate the house with the memory of their father who might have accidentally killed his son, or their brother.
When they sing about sleeping all day in the fall, I feel as if they are saying they are depressed about losing the house.
Either way, great vocals. Just absolutely brilliant

think you're taking the lyrics too literally.
