I think this is basically about that feeling of excitement you get when driving at night and you feel tired, you get this sort of extra energy boost that makes you more aware of everything. This song is just tapping into that feeling so that you feel like that when you listen to it.

'white lines shooting by on the pavement like the sky looking straight ahead into the black'

I think it's also about journeys in general, taking a leap into the unknown and having the determination to not look back and worry about wether or not you are doing the right thing, though I like to think the man and woman are in the same car, and are simply taking turns at sleeping.
