I can't believe no one has commented on this song yet. It's so awesome.
Obviously, it's a guy at wit's end. He's burned out, strung out, and doesn't know what to do. He's just clinging to the hope that, as the title says, help is just around the corner. I think having the song be just Chris and the guitar makes it so much more personal and emotional. You can just hear the desperation in his voice, the pleading for some relief, even if only for a short while.
I first heard this song in the MTV movie "Wasted," about the high school students in Plano, TX who died of heroin overdoses. They play it right as the clean kid track-star is about to overdose on his first ingestion of heroin (sorry if I ruined it for you).

Anyway, it's one of my all-time favourites.
