I don't think this is about drugs or simply comforting someone who has been hurt. I think this is about a serious relationship that causes a lot of pain for both partners, but they love each other very deeply.
"I know places we can go babe"
They're asking where this is going. They don't know how to hold their relationship together, and this is the singer's response.
"The high won't fade here babe"
The joy of being together won't fade where they're going.
"Don't ask me when, but ask me why"
Don't ask me when we'll make it to this place, ask me why. Neither of them know how they're going to make it work, so she's asking him to have hope instead.
"Don't ask me how but ask me where"
Don't ask me how, just pretend it exists. Ask me where. Believe in me, and then we can go there.
"There is a road, there is a way
There is a place, there is a place"
There is some way to make it better.
"So come lay and wait
Now won't you lay and wait
Wait on me"
Come lay with me for a while longer. Forget everything else and come be peaceful.
"Coming home, come unfold babe"
This is home, Unfold. Let it go.
