Your name is on everything you do, well, so is mine
Your life made a turn for you and gave you time
And through your uneven footsteps you found tolerance and cleanliness
And I found you
Your name appears at such an alarming rate in this town I can't escape it
(I'm sure you agree with that statement)
You sat around and borrowed money
I offered you a job trying to be funny
It worked out, but only at first
Your face is a minor detail
Elephants as big as whales
Recreational vehicles and mutual friends
But who's to blame? Lack of power?
And I don't mind that you're not here
And who's to blame? The believer?
The eye in the sky is watching your every single move
We stayed up at night much too late
Talking crap about The Secret Handshake
Talking about our life long mistakes
If only they knew, if only they knew
Talking bad about the kids from Denton
Disagreeing about sexual attention
You've been with more girls than I have
Both your faces have, both your faces have
I brought you to Las Angeles to do nothing
We both flew first class, and despite LA's boringness,
While I recorded you found plenty to do, plenty to do
Your face is as big as a whale
Elephants are a minor detail
Recreational vehicles and appointed tasks
But who's to blame? Lack of power?
And I don't mind that you're not here
And who's to blame? The believer?
The eye in the sky is watching your every single move
We've both got better things to do

I thought it was about how someone can be away from you for a period of time, and it makes him go a little crazy. i love the way the chorus' switches
"Your face is a minor detail Elephants as big as whales
Your face is as big as a whale Elephants are a minor detail"
it makes it seem like he's trying to say the same thing he did at the start, but it'll never be the same when they're away.
