I think I've finally figured this song out, and like that person above me with all the toggle caps said, I don't think it's got much of anything to do with Jesus. That's just sort of painting a background picture of the setting.

I'm picturing this guy looking back on a road trip with a friend a few years ago. Now he's changed ("can't say I recognize that face" --in the photograph of HIM), and he's grown apart from the friend (or gf, if you prefer), and the distance between them now is "too high, too wide, to get through," etc.

Personally, I'm thinking that he is in a better, not worse, place than he used to be, but I can't exactly figure out why I think that.
