Lyrics of Jumper - 2006 Remaster by Third Eye Blind
chorus
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you′ve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
verse
The angry boy
A bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You′re the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something′s wrong
pre-chorus
Well, everyone I know has got a reason
To say
Put the past away
chorus
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you′ve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
verse
And well, he's on the table
And he′s gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I
I want you to know
pre-chorus
Everyone′s got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away
chorus
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
hook
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
chorus
Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
outro
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
