I think this song is about having a friend with depression. He can see her 'lean towards despair', and she relishes in the depression because 'any given opportunity you're there'. I think he sees how her behaviour is dangerous, and she's self-destructive, so he tries to help and talk to her about it, therefore when she does listen to what he has to say, he is 'overjoyed'.
