I don't know where to begin
There's too many things that I can't remember
As I disappeared like a trend
In the hum of the 5 in the early morning
And now I'm taking my time
Up through Coalinga through the valley
This highway lived in my mind
It takes me back to the place that made me
Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
You cannot outrun a ghost
Speeding south bound lanes with abandon
It catches you on the coast
Or on the cliffs of the Palisades you killed the engine
And then it hovers above
Reeling bodies failing to discover
The thing they once knew as love
Raising their voices to convince one another
Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
How can I stay
In the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins
It's true
And I guess it's not a failure we could help
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else
With someone else
Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
How can I stay
In the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins
It's true
And I guess it's not a failure we could help
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else
There's too many things that I can't remember
As I disappeared like a trend
In the hum of the 5 in the early morning
And now I'm taking my time
Up through Coalinga through the valley
This highway lived in my mind
It takes me back to the place that made me
Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
You cannot outrun a ghost
Speeding south bound lanes with abandon
It catches you on the coast
Or on the cliffs of the Palisades you killed the engine
And then it hovers above
Reeling bodies failing to discover
The thing they once knew as love
Raising their voices to convince one another
Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
How can I stay
In the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins
It's true
And I guess it's not a failure we could help
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else
With someone else
Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame
For two
How can I stay
In the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins
It's true
And I guess it's not a failure we could help
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else

Some people play music, and some people are musicians.
Some people play music to have fun and make others sing along and dance to catchy hooks. Usually that amounts to nothing more than clichés and platitudes that last no more than a generation. If you're a musician, however, you HAVE to write about how you feel, in order to expand on the human experience.
This is an emotional album, of course, in a specific way, and I understand that. The question is: to what end?
The most telling line is the very last (musically and lyrically) of this song.
It's unresolved in a way that makes perfect sense.
