It's not about drugs. This is from Ryan himself...

"It was recorded in Nashville with The Pink Hearts. Billy Mercer had told me this story about a woman jumping off a building. We were out in Nashville having a few beers because that's all there is to do there and Billy said "That's the building." She'd gone up to the top, handed someone her baby and jumped. I had the riff but no words to the song, so I tried to put myself into her character. You can't begin to imagine how she must have been feeling but I tried."
