She’s looking back on her relationship with Joe Jonas. “Holy Ground” is a reference to his Christian faith, and appropriately so, since there’s not a lot of hints in the song as to who it’s about.
The one hint I pick up on is the dancing. Someone else said the lyrics about dancing didn’t really fit with the song, and I agree. But I think they’re more fitting and relatable when you look back to the saddest breakup song of her earlier years, ever, “Last Kiss,” where she says “I’m not much for dancing, but for you I did.” So here she’s referencing back to how she only liked dancing if it was with him.
