I couldn't make out large parts of this song, especially "you spat in my eye" and "hike to hike". Even while looking at these lyrics, I still don't know what the song is about. On a literal level I guess it's about riding around and the people that pass you by.
@ho-ju the line is actually "height to height", and the song is about Kim watching Kelley's heroin use surpass her own. Kim knew how to "pace" herself so she didn't develop an acute problem, but Kelley just barreled on. The "you spat in my eye" is a bit of a divergence from that theme, it's a reference to an incident when Kim was 12 or so, riding her bike, and a neighborhood bully rode past her and spat a loogie in her face (dramatized in the video for the song as well).
