Lyrics
We haven't burned these bridges
We haven't destroyed these connections completely yet.
For the last time
Implying they have not permanently ended their relationship or severed ties.
So I'll get the gas,
The speaker will provide the fuel (figuratively) for their final separation.
You bring the matches
Asking the other person to contribute to ending things.
We can dowse these threads on our backs.
Suggesting they can eliminate the connections between them symbolized as threads on their backs.
No longer birds of prey
They used to be predatory or aggressive, but now they're not.
We are just fuel for this fire.
They have become the fuel, or reason, for the final separation.
This is gone...it feels so wrong
The relationship has ended, and it feels uncomfortable or incorrect.
Yet sometimes it feels so right.
Despite the discomfort, sometimes it feels right to part ways.
This is gone on for to long baby.
The situation has persisted for too long.
I broke your heart
The speaker caused emotional pain to the other person.
When the winds go colder,
When the emotional distance between them grows.
Broke my neck
The speaker feels emotionally hurt from attempting to explain the inexplicable.
Explaining things I can't explain.
Struggling to clarify things that are beyond explanation.
Back and forth,
Indicating a repetitive pattern of interaction or arguments.
Its always back and forth
Highlighting the continuous cycle of their relationship issues.
When it comes to you and I.
Issues consistently arise between the two individuals.
