i may be completely off, but i thought this song could be about someone with an eating disorder. she "came with a sickness" of wanting to be perfect, and might be taking pills to keep it off. her boyfriend, or friend singing this song, knows she has a problem and wants to help her, but can't. he want to take her away from all these troubles, but she's too sick. he knows she's not getting better and keeps losing more weight, so at the end he can't deal with her and leaves, ( 'anywhere with you' to 'anywhere but you'). very sad, but amazing song.
