Come, come Naveed
Come, come Naveed
Come, come Naveed
Come, come save
Come, come Naveed
Come, come Naveed
Come, come Naveed
Are you there, and is it comfortable?
Did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
Sure is deceiving for you particularly
To let a young man die oh
Let him die if he wants to, die if he wants to
I can't live here anymore
But it's hard when you reach for that floor
There's something that tears me inside
So I can't go
Brother, are you there?
Now tell me, is it wonderful
Or were you hoping to find, hoping to find
Something a little more
Counting down the hours
I need to know now
Do the hands of time only rule this chapter
I'll have to try once again, oh
I'll have to try when I want to
I'll have to try when I want to
I can't live here anymore
But it's hard when you reach for that floor
There's something that tears me inside
I can't live here anymore
Anymore, anymore
There he's on his knees again
Trying hard to understand
Why Naveed would let a young man die
Convinced that he might break
He reaches for that phone
And another day has gone
Oh another day has gone
Oh another day
Has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone
Has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone
Has gone, has gone, has gone, has gone
I can't live here anymore
But it's hard when you reach for that floor
There's something that tears me inside
I can't live here anymore
I can't live here anymore
I can't live here anymore
I can't live here anymore
I can't live here anymore
Anymore
Come, come Naveed

I already posted a view, but I've just listened to this song again, and I got something a bit deeper out of it.
I've decided that, for now, I think the song is about giving people the dignity of making their own choices. I think in the first verse, Raine is describing a young man who is unhappy with life. He goes out into the world to seek something different, and doesn't find it. The song itself is narrated by his brother (in a spiritual sense, I think). So the brother asks the man about what he's found, but the brother knows that he is unhappy and suicidal.
So, Raine asks the question: should we allow this man this dignity of making his own choice and killing himself, or should we intervene and try to save his life? Eventually, the brother finds he can't live in that fear of his friend killing himself, but it's hard to get out of thinking those thoughts.
In the second verse, once again Raine goes over the man's fight for finding a reason to live. But the man was hoping to find a little more.
I believe 'climbing down the hours' means everyone was simply waiting for the man to snap and take his own life. The brother wonders 'if the hands of time only rule this chapter'- will he see his friend in the afterlife? Can they spend eternity together? 'I'll have to try once again' The brother has tried to stop the guy from tkaing his life, but he is tired and can't keep up anymore. So he rests, and tries to regroup.
The 'I can't live here' refrain represents both men's thoughts- the guy who wants to kill himself can't live in this world anymore, and after he kills himself, his brother can't live the same life. It's too mundane, too ordinary. So the other man goes on a quest as well.
'There he's on his knees again'- I think this verse, like I said before, is the brother screaming at God, demanding to know why He would let someone kill themselves. But 'Convinced that he might break'- like his brother, this man feels pressure and is at his breaking point. Unlike his brother, he doesn't commit suicide- he picks up the phone and talks to someone.
So, in the end, like I said, I think the song is about choice- two men make two very different decisions.
