Time and Time Again Lyrics

Cover art for Time and Time Again lyrics by Counting Crows

now, i'm sure i'm probably wrong, but i see it as him not wanting to accept the fact that he doesn't need someone to love him, and he can be single. i think the last lines 'i'm gonna set fire to this city and out into the desert we're gonna ride' mean that he is ready to be alone and he can go on his own and you know, kind of like 'paint the town red.' thats my interpretation, but whatever means, its a beautiful song.
