To me this song is song from the point of view of either God, or a certain side of an individual's brain. Taking place late at night, this song is a struggle happening inside of a persons head as they come close to the metal equivalent of pushing over the edge one way or the other. The devil apparently already thinks he's one this person over. Its sort of a angle on one shoulder devil on the other and the song is sung by the angel. The song brings a sense of urgency that they can't stay where they are. Not physically but mentally. It isn't safe anymore, the mindset they have and it is urgent that they leave it behind.
"I know you thought
Your faith was gone
But I'm as real as the fire that you're on"
This verse and the lines following really bring out the character who sings it. As the 'angel on the should' he cries that look I'm here. These thoughts of good are proof that I am real. I know how to fight, I'm not afraid, take my hand and we'll get through this together. This decision could save your life or doom it.
Then again we see that the person spoken to is giving up on themselves but the angel isn't. The sense of urgency and the idea that it could save their life and is super important is enhanced by the few unique lyrics with more of a repetition on "it might just save your life."
