I always imagined this song as sort of a dark folk Romeo & Juliet love song about two young lovers who were unhappy with their current situation and contemplating leaving everything behind to run away together. The protagonist is waiting outside her window one night asking her to leave with him....
I'm on fire like a Marlboro Light, I'm standing in the cold
I could keep my world from burning tonight, but I won't
Pour that kerosene on my bones, rub it into my soul
I'm on fire I'll be burning tonight and I know
I don't wanna do it alone
Come on and let's catch fire
Come on baby won't you burn with me
Come on and let's catch fire
Won't you burn
Burn with me
Light me up, let's strike a match tonight
Meet me in the smoke
I won't ask twice about the pain you hide
Or the evil you've known
We're always stuck in motions that we're running through
But when you're standing close I see that flame in you
I know it's the time to let me go
We'll find it in the smoke
We'll find it in the smoke
Come on and let's catch fire
Come on baby won't you burn with me
Come on and let's catch fire
Won't you burn
Burn with me
Come on and let's catch fire
Come on baby won't you burn with me
Come on and let's catch fire
Won't you burn
Burn with me
And burn with me
Burn with me
Burn with me
Won't you burn with me
Burn with me
Won't you burn with me
Burn with me
Won't you burn with me
Won't you burn
I'm on fire like a Marlboro Light
I'm standing in the cold
