Well, I indeed think it's about someone he doesn't want to let go, but I think we should have a closer look at the part : " I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home "
This means: no matter what happens, no matter how many lovers I'll have after you... I will never love them as much as I loved you and when I take a look at my life, I always get back here... So his life is like a pattern. It always ends up with sadness over the loss of his love.
