I think it's about depression: he doesn't dream anymore, he can't seem to succeed in anything he tried to do ("I'd always lose"), the therapist is no help and just gives him more pills. He's being drowned by a tide of pessimists, etc.
And then in the third verse, he actuall dream, though he previously stated he couldn't, and he dreams that he feels like he fits in.
Saying "Carry me home" is just asking to find a place where he feels like he belongs.
Easily the best song on So Sudden.
