A little early in spring, a bonfire ring
She's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
But you can wear
My duct-taped vest
It's a party best
It’s really all I own
Everything's changing now
And I am high like a star that's flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now
She said it’s alright
She said no don't die alone
There's no goodbyes
Lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
I keep burning on and on and on
If nothing else I am myself
That's all I have to give
Everything's changing now
Oh we could live like kings
If we take a risk
Or we could live in doubt
Everything's changing now
Oh now
Come on, come on
And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
And I keep burning on and on and on
And this, this is, this is the last time, it's the last time
And this, this is, this is your goodbye
And this, this is, this is the last time
And this, this is, this is your goodbye
Some girls will break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everything's changing now
Maybe you and I are cursed
Maybe you and I are one
And that's the universe
Around, around she drags you
Lightning comes and lightning goes
It’s all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
We'll snuff the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on and on
I really love you!
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
She's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
But you can wear
My duct-taped vest
It's a party best
It’s really all I own
Everything's changing now
And I am high like a star that's flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now
She said it’s alright
She said no don't die alone
There's no goodbyes
Lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
I keep burning on and on and on
If nothing else I am myself
That's all I have to give
Everything's changing now
Oh we could live like kings
If we take a risk
Or we could live in doubt
Everything's changing now
Oh now
Come on, come on
And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
And I keep burning on and on and on
And this, this is, this is the last time, it's the last time
And this, this is, this is your goodbye
And this, this is, this is the last time
And this, this is, this is your goodbye
Some girls will break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everything's changing now
Maybe you and I are cursed
Maybe you and I are one
And that's the universe
Around, around she drags you
Lightning comes and lightning goes
It’s all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
We'll snuff the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on and on
I really love you!
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?

I also believe this song is about his first love. I have a theory that Bonfire, Thanks a Lot, Anything, 10 Days Late, Never Let You Go, Deep Inside of You, Another Life, The Background, Faster, Crystal Baller, Wake for Young Souls, God of Wine, and Blinded are all about the same woman, someone whose soul held hands with his for a while and for whom he still feels a great deal. I think he loved her through lots, that she had an odd childhood, maybe some mental illness and a couple addictions. this may be a reach, but I think she severed ties to protect him from herself and he wasn't altogether comfortable with that. I think they've seen each other a few times since and that each of those moments overflowed in him and songs were how he expressed something he wanted to nail down so badly. I think Stephan is bi-polar and when manic is inspired, feels omnipotent, and is on fire sexually. I'm certain he thinks of sex in terms of deep spiritual connection, and that every encounter he's had has not been without real meaning.
I'd like to think this song in particular describes his first meeting with the aforementioned lover, the one who meant most, the one who carried his child for a short time. Stephan, if you ever browse this kind of thing, you are strong and an inspiration. you make this world more real and more beautiful for a single mom who knows what love can be. (also sorry if I'm entirely wrong about the whole thing, lol.)
"I bumped into you somehow"
At first he's excited to see her because she meant so much to him, but then he remembers that she hurt him last time he got close to her.
"And I am high like a star that's flying "
It also seems that she needs/wants him to be there for her or to be there for him.
"She's shivering alone" "she said it's alright, she said no dont die alone"
Throughout the song there seems to be an obvious progression from being happy to see her to telling her goodbye because he doesn't want to get hurt again.
"Into one thousand pieces I have broke into Over you The chain will soon be gone"
He's debating whether or not to get close to her, and decides that he won't.
"And this, this is, this is the last time And this, this is, this is your goodbye"
THe lighting references how quickly someone can enter a life and then leave it devastated. Because even though he loves her he knows that no good can come from them being together
"maybe you and I are cursed, maybe you and I are one"
Either way it's a fantastic song
