I think...he's a heroin addict, meets a girl and the girl gets introduced to the scene. It happens, she has low self-esteem and he's fun and interesting and she falls in love. The parents aren't stupid, they see who he is and know his game. The mom says he's a 'thief' - very, very common amongst heroin users. So the girl takes the guy's side and runs off - moves in - with him. She's struggling with where she is and what she's become, and he's saying 'don't go down - stay (high) with me' It's always more fun as well as justifiable when you have a partner. So then her conflicts come out in a dream, where she envisions herself overdosing 'her body outlined in chalk'. He takes off (the globe has been spun - it happened and there's nothing he can do about it) and she see's this. So her ghosts comes down to kiss him to let him know that this is what happens, this is the end result of where their life is going. And all he cares about is doing the drug, not wanting to 'go down' - mortality isn't a worry to him. And she knows this, and wants to do something about it but can't. So she has to let him go.
