This could be interpreted as a metaphor for alcoholics anonymous. He's talking about getting to a higher place (aa meeting) if you want to survive.
"gotta leave by nine" not night
find somewhere thats dry = not drunk
"Gotta run like we've never run" - what AA requires ("into action")
"If we cant find somebody who can help somebody might be nobody no more"
AA requires you to help people or you will die/relapse
"I fool myself and I dont know why, thought we could ride this out"
typical talk of an alcoholic
"I was up all night making up my mind but now I got my doubts" - last minute indecision whether or not to go to the higher place or not (AA)
"Ive got my eye on the water line try to keep my sense of humor" - important part of sobriety. They say "we are not a glum lot"
"we gotta get to a higher place if we want to survive" - unity being the premise of AA.
"Yeah, when I add up what I've left behind
I don't want to lose no more"
this is called reaching rock bottom.
Songs about how tom needed to get to a meeting. but you knew that right?
