"i sat beneath the burning tree
i never gave my world away (maybe i should, maybe i could)
i sat beneath the burning tree
i never gave my world away (maybe i should, maybe i could)"
A burning bush is a Christian symbol of virginity, which fits into what others have said so far, about this song being about sex, the losing of innocence/virginity, and sex destroying the romance/love in a relationship.
"I never gave my world away (maybe i should, maybe i could"
This to me is a reference to falling in love, and fully commiting yourself to one person in a relationship, and devoting your life to them. It's about being vulnerable with someone and open, and letting someone into your life. So in short, he's saying despite losing his virginity and experiencing sex, he has never experienced true love, but maybe he is ready to do so now, maybe he is able to give himself to another.
