I am going to interpret this song the way it relates to me, just because I really feel a connection to this song.

I interpret this song as a boy in love with a girl that is closed off from everyone else. The first stanza is describing this intimate moment with this girl, describing his love by saying, "let the water fall on the flame, it's not burning out."

Although they had an intimate moment, magical in his eyes, the third stanza tells of the girl. "She's in a town that holds a lonely road." She holds no intimate relationships, she has a heavy heart. She has isolated herself from the world. She has closed off her heart from everyone else ( "can she hear my heart coming through on the door between")

The fifth stanza is just him saying he will continue to try and get through to her. Even if he fails in his attempts, he will not give up on her because she is "what I never knew I needed."

The chorus of the song is just him reassuring her. "I'll keep you warm, dancing in the downpour." He will protect her and love her through all the hard times. He is just telling her to free herself from this prison she created for herself, she will be safe in his arms.

This is my interpretation. I am currently going through a situation like this. I could be wrong because I see this song through my experience. But this is how I connected with the song.

My Interpretation

Exactly what I thought when I heard it for the first time, but I'm also in this situation that makes me connected with the song in this way.
