Slow Burning Crimes Lyrics

This song seems like it's a narrative in the singer's head about a relationship she can't stop thinking about while she's out on tour with the band. The lyrics "we walk through rivers of fire/high tides try to kill off desire" implies that the relationship is constantly tested, while "slow burning crimes keep us up through the night" feels like reminiscing about spending the intimate middle hours of the night with someone important. It sounds like the relationship is constantly tested because the other person doesn't trust her while she's away on tour, but she's always thinking about him/her and missing them while she's gone.
