There don't seem to be any official lyrics out there, so I worked these out by listening to the song and with the help of a few other people's guesses online. They seem to be about as accurate as I could make out, though that "throughout" bit still doesn't seem quite right. I just can't put my finger on exactly what he's saying there at that point, it almost sounds like "drew up past that scene", but the presence of a definitive "th" sounds at the beginning of it just keeps throwing me off.
I'm not going to venture into any deep interpretation on this one, but it seems like the song is describing events and thoughts occurring while on a road trip that end up helping the subject face who he truly is and, in that act, lose who he previously thought he'd been. But maybe that's just me.
I just want to say that I adore the line "Seems I left my soul in a lay-by" (which is a "rest stop" here in the States), just because of the imagery and sense of long-haul travel it provides. Then again, I am a road trip addict, so losing anything, possibly even one's soul, at a rest stop is something that's totally feasible to me.

@wednesday181 I believe the line is: "We flew right past that scene."
