Seems to me this song is about recovery (a la Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous). Got the one girl calling with her latest self imposed crisis (calling me because I'm a night owl). Walking through the doors to a meeting where everyone has the same problem but are a bunch of judgmental hypocrites. Then there's the guy who can't stop, won't stop drinking and there's nothing I can do to help him, not gonna reach out, gotta let it go. Can't go back and fix the mistakes - might as well keep going - not like you can do anything else. Write out the pain that's inside killing me. Or will kill me (will lead me to drink or use or suicide) if I don't exorcise it. Powerless over a lot of these situations. Just gotta breathe. Ride it out. Feel the feelings. And keep on going.
