I get the impression this song is telling the story of someone battling addiction and quite possibly on the brink of an overdose. The 2nd singer who is probably very close to him is there at this critical moment. She states "the last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye. Then I heard you flatline." He doesn't die and together they are going to "take their life back". They know it will be hard but they're determined to fight and take their life back. It's about finding your own personal strength and resolve to overcome challenges that may cause most people to simply give up. They're going to take a stand and fight together.
