Cover art for Until Morning lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

this song is really good. it can be related to any slowly fading situation really - in particular, this is about not wanting someone to die for whatever reason, i would assume that the two were friends and tried drugs:

Dear, slip these on your tongue Little seeds of reinvention And Angels hands The medicine of modern man

...and while the singer is alright, they're waiting by the other who may have gone too far with the drugs, i assume, and just wants them to hear that they wish they weren't going, and wish that they would stay alive as long as possible, so they can be together.

i fear that this may happen to a friend of mine...
