I'm not entirely sure why but to me this song seems to be about drug addiction. It sounds like he and a girl/his girlfriend started out messing around with stuff ("even time well spent gets bent...") and at some point she gets in over her head ("since then you never come clean...") and he's trying to be there for her and he's saying hit me with the worst of it, i'll still be there to help you out of this ("lay all you want on me...").
