This song is so personal and honest and just amazing. Clearly Dallas has a sleeping proble, he makes that evident in his other songs too.

"This is something I'll never contol. My nerves will be the death of me" IMO means his sleeping disorder which keeps him up all night is something he can't control. He thinks and worries to much at night since he can't sleep...he's depressed even? And thus, his nerves are bad...his emotions are making him mad...lack of sleep does that to you. So he questions whether to start drinking more, just so he can eventually pass out and get some sleep.
