It's defenitely about someone deciding to break an addiction... "Tonight, i'm gonna make it right"

However I'm confused on the "Please answer the phone" deal; either "the addict" is calling someone who can help - or he's having too much withdrawal and suddenly experiences a relapse... or a desire to relapse...

"I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you"... hmmmm... assumed translation "I think i have enough to buy another bag..."

@budwheizzah1 I think when he says please answer the phone cuz I keep calling but you're never home that he could be he's calling dealer or he might be calling someone to help talk him out getting anything. The beautiful thing about songs is sometimes it's fun to play with a double meaning it's all in the person that's listening to it. He definitely needing some help from one of his sober friends when he says he'll do anything if you'll just help get him out of here. Wonderful song. Phil Collins and Genesis Kick-Ass
