This is how I perceive this song:

"Baby, don't go and lose it again" This is a girl who came from an abusive relationship telling herself not to fall for the same person again.

"You would always run out of the sun and into the rain" She seems to attract the same bad situation over and over

"This house just creeps," The house is the girl's mind and it is slow or down and depressed

"It won't let you sleep, all that noise, there in your brain, won't give you peace." She is overwhelmed by her negative thoughts

It says: "I won't let you go where there's rivers or town folk I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me" She is telling herself not to live her life and go out and be social. The only way she feels safe is to go inward and be by herself.

"Baby, don't go, and love him again" Again she is telling herself not to go back to the abusive guy.

"You will always leap into a fire, into a flame" Same as above.

"This house just aches to keep you safe You're in every single thing You're in the walls, you're in the space" She is very critical of herself. Analysing everything.

"Don't let your friends know you can't pay your debts" She mustn't let her friends know that she is losing her mind, she can't pay the 'mental rent' of the 'house'

Love this song :)
