The protagonist is remembering a car accident where he and his partner were involved, and she died. He feels guilty for leaving the scene unscathed and choosing an easy escape route, admitting that he is afraid of what he would go through if she had died. He now wishes he could have spent more time with her and would do anything to have her back, even burning down a town just to be with her again. However, he also feels like he can't give up yet and is still holding onto hope.
