I think that this song is about losing someone in a car crash. It's pretty clear through most of the song, but I can't seem to make sense of "This is how you ditch someone who drives you mad..." I think it might be part of the guilt in that this wasn't a person he was getting along with. Maybe it was a romance that was going sour... and then he lost her. When he sings "I pray that you are nothing like your photo at all," I imagine a photograph of her at the scene, dead. It reminds me a lot of the "Porsche Girl" who had graphic pictures of her death scene (in a german car) posted online.
The narrator hit a stranger in his German motor car. It's sarcasm when he says it felt nice. I've got you is kinda like saying, well I'm alive but I got you. He sits and stares at the photo to try and forget or "ditch" someone who makes you mad(he's traumatized from killing someone.)

I think that it was something that he knew, not a stranger. Otherwise lyrics like "All the bedroom sheets and TV screen Without you" and "I haven't a thing to do no more" are a bit out of place.
I think that "I've got you" is kind of a wishful thinking where he could save her.

oh and the photo is on the wall is what I would imagine to be a newspaper cut out pinned up of the accident and a picture of the victim.
