I'm glad I understand the highway thing now, but does this song not smack of an affair, illicit or ill fated relationship to any of you? This is how I see it:
You ride in silence because HE WILL NOT LET GO - the imagined girl who is sung about, and her boyfriend who won't let go of her, even though she wants to be with the singer.
So as for 'heroes and crooks', the singer from Yellowcard is the either the metaphorical hero or crook, as in one respect, if the girl is leaving the guy for him, then "one of them saves you from this" e.g. he saves her from the unhappy relationship, or "the other one steals you" e.g. steals you away.
Another bit I noticed was:
He could take you all the way to Church this time...
As in, you could get married, but in reality the relationship is a lie.
'Sure things fall' in this context means to me, you think you'll end up happily ever after, married with 2.4 children, but maybe that's not the case, because it's too obvious and expected, because all sure things fall. Does anyone else see this in the song?
