This song to me is about Elliott Smiths search for love. The idea that the only love he can reach is that of drugs. Its the only love that doesn't leave him. Until all the drugs he used made him ill "One day I got sick, She played me a nasty old trick"
So he takes leaves his true love, drugs, although they were his lover, he found it hard to live without them. "My love had gotten too strong"
So at the end, he has no true love and is drugged up by doctors who just treat him like all the others. He just wants to go someone where he belongs, perhaps the afterlife.
God rest Elliott smiths sole. Lets hope he's home now.
