I didn't understand this song at first too, I mean,"Burning Bridges"? What kind of song title is that? I had to listen tot he song a few times before I finally had some idea what this song means.

This song is somehow about a man wanting a woman to take the first step to turning their relationship to become a romantic one. He is likely just afraid to take the first step.

He keeps on running? He's scared of commitment in the relationship,so he builds these "walls" in between him and her, but what he really wanted is to become her partner as he as he wants her to burn his bridges down. In other words, to close the gaps in between them.

He wants nothing else but them to be together;that's the main point of this song!
