What an evocative song, one that says so much without explaining anything. It just goes for the heart of what's happening.
Sounds like it's to someone who is having great difficulty, struggling, perhaps contemplating suicide. The singer is trying to find reassuring words to say/sing, and is coming from a place of love. The song captures the sadness and poignancy of that moment.
I most enjoy the live Tiny Desk show that includes a performance of this song.
