The obvious assumption is that this is about drug addiction. But the tone of the song is so beautiful, and Tim Smith's voice is so gentle and sweet that it permeates the subject matter with innocence. It feels to me like a gentle plee to someone to let someone else help them. In some sense, it's one of the sweetest love songs I can think of. The music and beats by the Chems are a huge part of that too.
