According to the lead singer, the song was influenced by his experience at a camp, where he worked as a mentor, for troubled teens.

"One of the youngsters I was paired up with was a musician. Here I was, a protected suburbanite, and he was just 17 and had all these problems. And no one could write a manual on how to save him." Issac Slade.

It was about all the people that tried to help this boy, but no one knew how to save him.

The verses describe the attempts by an adult to help a troubled teen.

The chorus is about how the singer, himself, could not save a friend becaue he wasnt sure how.
