"come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on"
This references the first step which talks about powerlessness and unmanageability. 'Come to decide' is just another way to say 'admitting.'
"When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time" This line references finding a higher power, which is in the second step.
"When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside"
This is about the fourth step which is a personal inventory. His fear is what's killing him and he needs a higher power to 'look inside.' Then when he says in the chorus "listen what I say" that could be referring to the 5th step, in which you tell someone your life story.
"The more I like to let it go" This has to do with turning his will over ["all my life to sacrifice"], the third step prayer, forgiving himself etc. This is important in recovery because resentment is the number one offender.
"Privately divided by a world so undecided"
This refers to the anonymous fellowship, which is more or less private.
"When to descend to amend for a friend"
He's talking about his 9th step here, making amends for the wrongs he's done others.
"Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride" He's talking about his chance to ride the pink cloud, being rocketed into the fourth dimension by working the steps. He better not leave before the miracle happens.
