Just like it is...
Now i thought this would be interesting...My next few posts are going to be song lyrics. But the thing about it is...i dont want to go on and on about what they mean to me. I want to hear what your interpretation of them are. What they mean to you. You dont necissarily have to know the song (though it helps) but just read and make your own

At the start i think hes saying how this isnt a good time for him..."pit of fire"...he explains why he feels this way.
He also says "im never coming back here again", this is showing that he doesnt want this feeling again. i.e. things are getting better from now on.
I do love the united states line, i see this as metaphorical...
-the 'west side' is where he is now, and this has been 'traumatised' it is in a bad situation, like he is
-walking acroos the united states is like getting to a better place, getting away from this bad situation that he is in now. this is a good metaphor as walking across the united states seems like a massive task, therefore, improving his situation isnt going to be easy
- he asks about doing it alone...he is suggesting perhaps breaking up and moving on by himself, this is shown with "dont you try and stop me"
He also comments on this 'coincidence', showing that she is in the same position as he is.
This song really is about moving on, the first thing that comes into my head when i hear it is the idea of moving away from a bad situation to a good one, and having the strength to do it, this is also not ONLY for relationships
Thats what this song means to me, and i love it
