From the album For All The Right Reasons Vol. 1
This is a song about mistaking loss of control for mutual passion. The narrator keeps saying 'we' but describes only his own burning, his own inability to let go, his own composure falling apart. The beloved is hard to return, hard to quit, but there's no evidence they're burning for him back. He's pleading 'Don't burn out on me' to someone who might not be lit in the first place.
Something's in on my soul / Sweet nothings on your lips
He treats his soul like a physical container something has gotten into, something invasive. Meanwhile 'sweet nothings' are literally empty words. The mismatch is telling: what's happening to him feels real and bodily, what's coming from them is just talk.
Like a wildfire my heart is burning for your love / Starting a wildfire
The shift from 'burning for your love' to just 'starting a wildfire' drops the object. He starts out wanting something specific from them, but by the second line the fire has its own momentum. It doesn't need their love anymore to keep going.
Can't maintain my compo' / With you I loose control
He admits he can't keep it together around them, but 'with you' might be doing heavy lifting. This could mean 'when I'm with you' or just 'because of you,' even from a distance. The song never confirms they're actually together.
Don't burn out on me
This is the only direct request in the entire song. He's begging them not to lose interest, which means he knows they might. The whole wildfire metaphor promised eternal burning, but this line admits it could all just stop.
Do you hear me burning
He asks this three times with no answer. The question itself is the problem. If they can't hear it, if they're not burning too, then this whole thing is just him alone with his metaphor. The song ends on a question because he genuinely doesn't know.
The narrator thinks he's describing mutual passion. He's actually describing his own inability to walk away from someone who might not be equally invested. The wildfire will keep burning, sure, but maybe only because he won't put it out.
