he wants to forget her, but he can't. or more than that, he feels like he needs to forget her because their relationship won't work for some reason.
this is about what it's like to leave someone. literally. to pick up and leave so that you can get your mind on something else and clear your head. but when you have loved someone the way that he loves her, he hears their story everywhere - whether it's in a song on the radio, in a movie you saw, or just out in the rest of the world.
"even the streets they speak your name out here" - could be a couple different things. at first, i thought about what it's like when you think you hear someone say your name but you don't know them, and they weren't calling you. sometimes when you're thinking about someone, you hear their name all the time.. just because you're so focused on them.
another possibility is that the road reminds him of her... maybe he is driving a familiar route that they used to take. or maybe he just sees her in other people that he comes in contact with out on "the streets". like i said before, when someone is on your mind, you see them everywhere... even if they're nowhere around.
and bonus - he has to go home sometime. and all the pictures of her are waiting for him there.
