Listening to that song, I kind of thought of social anxiety.
In the first verse he talks about the familiar, the things he is used to, things which are inside his comfort zone. But on the other hand, he sees 'the great unknown'. He sees this world full of things he doesn't know and which also scare him.
He can see what happens outside his comfort but he rather stays home, the security he experiences inside of his comfort side draws him back from doing the things he sees outside. Describing these nights as wild seems kind of ironic but they seem more secure and that's what people with (social) anxiety need.
He doesn't trust a lot of people because he might have not experienced real friendship due to his anxiety. He tells himself to no listen to them because they only want to know what's wrong with him. Maybe he's annoyed of all these questions and thinks that they're all just desperate themselves. He doesn't know and cannot explain what's wrong with him either, so he just says to not listen to friends because they wouldn't understand.
He can feel the draw, that feeling which is pulling him away from participating in life but keeping him inside his comfort zone.
He wonders if what he feels is normal or if he's slowly going out of his mind. He's also insecure about himself, he gives too much about what other people might say about him and his state. But wondering if he's okay maybe gives him this turning point. When he's home, when he's staying inside his comfort zone, things seem different and maybe also better for him, but at the same time he is scared of being left behind. So he could try to change that, try and go out, experience different things and not letting the draw pull him back from his one life.
Then he also trusts his friends, he knows that they will understand if he tells them about his struggles. He says that they care about him and they hope he's okay. In the beginning he doesn't want to talk to his friends because he's afraid they might not understand but then he realizes that he can trust them, that they will understand if he just tries.
To me, this seems like he's trying to put an end to his old feelings. He does feel that draw which is pulling him back but he has to try to resist this draw. He might feel it a lot in the future but he has to try to fight it.
I don't really know and I might be completely wrong but these were my thoughts about The Draw.
