I fixed some lyrics, and a lot of typos, I found 2 more, and they're fixed in this.
"a cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
another swallow never seemed like enough for him
they say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
what goes around comes back around twice as fast
he's got no hope for a cure
so he'll put himself to sleep, oh"
a guy the songwriter might have known, or just a person in general took pills to get high, and one time wasn't enough for him. The drug taker might have lashed out on the songwriter, or hurt him in some way due to being unstable because of the drugs. Now he's so deep into his addiction, and people are finally reacting to him and the way he acted, so he either contemplated or committed suicide.
"so tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
the start to the finish come on and let me hear you speak
oh and use up all the time you're given
the start to the finish come on and let me hear it, go on
go ahead and tell your story"
Here the songwriter wants to know the stories of the 2 troubled people in this song, and he's willing to listen even though others won't.
"she always hoped for him to take her word for it
never knew what it felt like feeling
shes got her eyes on the time but there's no use waiting there for him
but shes not in the world alone
what she wanted to put herself to sleep"
She may be waiting for someone, maybe a loved one who was never in her life, or a significant other. She sits around waiting for someone who may never come, and never feels love, so she either contemplates or commits suicide.
