This song reminds me of two of my friends, Rob and Mike. Both were wild in high school and college (drunk every weekend, smoking pot, lots of sex, road trips to Mardis Gras, etc.). Rob found a girl, got married, had kids, got a good job, built a house in the suburbs, quit smoking, cut way back on drinking. He goes to church with the family every Sunday, but will confide in his close friends that he doesn't really get anything out of it. Mike kept doing drugs, can't hold down a job, never got married. If you ask him, he'd tell you he's trying to get his life together ("trying to stay focused on the righteous path"), but he keeps relapsing into his old habits.
They have very similar personalities, but Rob found a way to control his impulses, while Mike didn't. Occasionally, Rob will have too much to drink and the old Rob will show up. I think that is the "thin, thin line" separating their two minds.

@Zepfreak , I agree... "It's a thin line separating his from mine" is a key line in the song.
