So the only thing I can think of is that there is some religious imagery: "forgiven," etc. It sounds like a religious person trying to convince someone on the street. Losing patience. "Maybe they'll like it maybe they won't."
"Simple you might think, but wary of reason." Sounds like how religion oversimplifies things and throws reason out the window.
"Hey there young man come understand the ways you need to heal." The religious person trying to get someone to listen.
The last stanza. The religious person chastises the listener. Then they leave. But you're on the phone list by that point and you'll never stop getting calls from them to tell you that "you need help."
Then the title of the song: Joe's Waltz. Maybe he is referring to Joseph Smith and Mormonism.
Maybe that is way off, but I don't see anyone else trying.
What is this about? I really don't know.
