She "burns" every bridge she crosses and destroys all relationships created because she feels like she has to escape again. She does that everytime "her heart is an empty room" because new places/situations make her feel a little more alive again.
"HOME'S FACE, HOW IT AGES WHEN YOU'RE AWAY
THE SPRING BLOOMS
THEN YOU FIND THE LOVE THAT'S TRUE
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT NOW TO DO
BECAUSE THE CHASE IS ALL YOU KNOW"
-> From time to time she comes back, and she realizes how things have changed again. She finds another person which inspires her, and secretely she's hoping this new person will make her want to rest. (PERSON = THE SINGER??) But she unlearned how to trust other people or how to be in a serious relation ship and all she knows is the chase for things that make her feel alive. She doesn't know what to do again.
"AND ALL YOU SEE
IS WHERE ELSE YOU COULD BE
WHEN YOU'RE AT HOME
AND OUT ON THE STREET
ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
TO NOT BE ALONE"
-> Again, all the time her eyes are seeking for the most authentic, most inspiring things in life so one day she will feel normal. She's always getting nervous when she's at home for to long. She thinks there are a hundred of things to see and experience. And she's running around in vibrant cities because it makes her feel less alone. She's really really lonely but thinks that's better than getting hurt somehow.
"FLAMES AND SMOKE
CLIMBED OUT OF EVERY WINDOW
AND DISAPPEARED
WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU HELD DEAR
BUT YOU SHED NOT A SINGLE TEAR
FOR THE THING'S THAT YOU DIDN'T NEED
BECAUSE YOU FINALLY KNOW YOU'RE FREE"
-> And along her endless journey, the girl got... cold. She can't feel anything anymore and isn't able to shed a tear for the missed chance to love the Person (singer?). She's free in her way, but on the other hand she's trapped.

I think it's about a person (let's just say it's a girl for example) who can't really find her place in this world or in this time. It's about a person who is running all her life long because she's afraid to stay as long as someone can hurt her. She's like travelling around the world, or she desperately wants to. She might experienced really bad things somewhere along the way.
The singer has a kind of deeper relationship with her, which is fatal, because she's afraid of letting someone really know her and she always wants freedom.

I think you're right about the person who can't find his/her place in the big world right now.
