←
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could, cut ties with all the lies that you been livin in a-and
if you do not want to see me again
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
The angry boy a bit too insane
icing over a secret pain
I know you dont belong
Your the first to fight your way too loud
Your the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know somethings wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say, you can put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could, cut ties with all the lies that you been livin in a-and
if you do not want to see me again
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
Well hes on the table and hes gone to code
And I dont think anyone knows what theyre
doing here
And your friends have left you youve been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this and
I, I want you to know-o
Everyone's got to face down the demons maybe today, you could put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could, cut ties with all the lies that you been livin in a-and
If you do not want to see me again
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and
I would under-sta---i-a---i-and

About this song: Jumper
Lead singer Stephan Jenkins has said that the song "comes from a story our manager told us about a high school friend of his who was gay. He went to a conservative school in San Diego all sons of military types. Being gay was just not acceptable. He offed himself--he jumped off a bridge. The song is also about Jenkins' own difficult, often alienating childhood experiences, he says, "My parents divorced, and that hurt me. We were poor and I went to a rich high school. I was dyslexic and had Attention Deficit Disorder, which I still have.
