The XX – Islands Lyrics 12 years ago
Wow. It sounds like there's a lot of over analyzing being done here. I personally never had it happen to me, but it sounds like the song is simply about falling in love with a friend that has been there all along. Every verse talks about looking for love all over the place while it was right in front of them the whole time.

I really like this part:
"See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been"

It sounds as if he crossed the bridge to his long-time friend/new lover and then set the bridge on fire so he could never go away.
