They say "passion doesn't last" in relationships, but then you see these couples who have been married 30, 40, 50 years and still look like they're dating. They're either truly obsessive, or have found a different way to make it last.
What is the mood of this song to you? Is it sad and crazy? Is it hopeful? Overdramatic? Do you get the greater themes expressed in the song? What are they?

You started fires when you called last night
Smoke signals running through my mind
Everything's cool, everything's been fine
The past was far behind
But I felt heat when you rang my door
You whispered like a blow torch
And showed me the flame I used to hold
But I'm not playing with fire, anymore
Pyromaniacs
Burning with a love that never lasts
Cause it's too strong, And we're like glass
Shattered with the slightest crack
Pyromaniacs
Long ago we swore, we'd never go back
It's dangerous to love like that
Setting fires that never last
You started fires when you left that day
The smell of smoke in the hallways
and down the stairs, you reached the door
An' poured gasoline on the bottom floor
Ya struck a match and walked away
So I ran out the fire escape
An chased ya back to your car
And took you softly in my arms, and said
It won't be the same
It won't be the same
It won't be the same
We're pyromaniacs
We know all the tricks to make it last
It's dangerous to love like that
But we'll melt and hold, cause we're like glass
It won't be the same
It won't be the same

Great imagery. Having been married to my high school sweetheart for 43 years I know that people find different ways to make it last. I just don’t know how, at your young age, you knew that! You truly have the heart of a poet!
