To me, this song is about a singer's friend who told him she wanted to commit suicide, and he doesn't want it to happen, but doesn't know what to do. "The gun is loaded when the glass is full, Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled" would confirm the suicide thesis, "All the friends that I've ever known, Are the streetlamps I follow home, And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone", that he knows what's going on and wants to help her, but he's the only one to know and feels all alone in that... The chorus would be "I" telling to "you" that he'd do anything to help her, and that he understand why she would want to end her life, but that he'd still be really really sad... I think the "He" in the song would be the boyfriend of the girl, and that he died or went to prison, whatever, and that's why she would want to kill herself.
So that's what I think the song is about, I still have no idea what "Off the wagon and back onto the stool" could mean, and although that song stays a big mistery to my eyes, I love it deeply. Sorry if I made mistakes, english isn't my mother language...
