This poignant ballad paints a vivid picture of regret and longing. The burning house serves as a metaphor for a past relationship that has ended disastrously, yet the protagonist can't let go. Despite acknowledging her mistakes ("I did you wrong") and understanding that people don't change, she is trapped in the 'burning house' of her memories and dreams. She yearns to correct what's lost and broken, but realizes it's an impossible task - much like rescuing someone from a burning house. This internal struggle is further emphasized by her sleepwalking state, symbolizing her inability to move forward. The song encapsulates the pain of clinging onto something destructive because letting go feels even more unbearable.
