I think this song is about one of the singers friends that would always get high. He says "If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out,
or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?"
And that's like saying that he would die from doing drugs before the water would drown him. When he says "I'd offer you my hand, it would hurt too much to watch you die" it means that even if he offered to help he knows that his friend wouldn't take it and he would die. well that's my take on it

This song is about wanting to commit to someone who is a danger to themselves but not being able to. The person is on drugs and he wants to be with them but he can't stand them destroying themselves.

I think this song is about a friend with a drug problem. He says "If I flooded out your hours, do you think you'd make it out? Or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?"
His friend is so addicted that he would rather get high than save his own life. The singer knows his friend will die if he doesn't get help, and that one day he will be singing the requiem at the funeral.
