Burning Bridges Lyrics

Cover art for Burning Bridges lyrics by Jason Mraz

I thought this was about corporate culture due to these following lines "I know exactly how you feel, You were this close to closing deals Now everything fell from out your hands," I interpretated that as I know how you feel, You were this close to making deals with customers/possible investors that would help out the company. Now you have lost control And on the lines "oh, desire can cause heart attacks. and desire.. it won't bring you back" Could mean desire to leave the buisiness world for love could leave the man dead, But desire won't change his situation. Also for these lines "You figured it best to just ignore it, Otherwise, oh, you're just living for it," My interpertation was that the guy tried to ignore the buisiness world he was living for, Or he would only be living for his mundane work. That is only my opinion.
