Jumper

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...

 

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

 

Well, everyone I know has got a reason to say

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've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand

I would understand...

 

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've been dismissed

I never thought it would come to this

 

And I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons

 

Maybe today

we 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've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand

I would understand...

 

Can you put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend...

I would understand... I would understand... I would understand...
