Mat Kearney was recently interviewed about the new City of Black and White album:
"Fire and Rain is also one of the last songs we wrote and, I don't know, that song is definitely dealing with this kind of like, prodigal friend or something. There's like this sense of distance and you wanting to experience some sort of redemption and cover that distance and maybe bring together friendship or love or something that has fallen apart. 'I heard you were back in town,' 'I heard you were comin' around,' and that's the lyric there, you're desiring to be back in that relationship I guess."
