Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "

Bridges Burnt, Seas To Swim

Burning bridges is not the equivalent of running away. Burning a bridge is standing at the end of it, taking a burning match, and setting the whole thing on fire, rope by rope, plank by plank. Burning bridges is doing that, and then coming back a day later and seeing the destruction you brought, the mending that that bridge needs, and realizing that you have no way back to the other side, which is all because of you and your match. Burning bridges is self destruction.

That doesn't really make sense...

when you burn a bridge, you're running from your past. you're running from it and hoping that it doesn't happen again.

it all depends what side you're on. this is how i see burning a bridge. i wasn't running. i was standing there watching it burn.
