To me, this song is about addiction of all kinds, not just alcohol. I heard this song on the radio and I started analyzing it.
The use of height to depict sobriety and drunkenness or general vice is common throughout this song. Being "high", usually associated with being drunk, actually means to be "high" above an addiction in the song. Falling represents giving into an addiction.
This song also touches on the reasons people drink alcohol. People drink alcohol to reach new heights and feel better. However, they are sinking lower and lower by giving into the overwhelming power of addiction.
When it's good, then it's good, it's so good till it goes bad."
You feel better, but when you become sober, you realize that you have gave into addiction and the party's over.
"How do I feel this good sober?"
It feels weird, but you feel better when you are sober, because you were brought down.
Theme: Addiction will never lead to reaching a permanent zenith.
