Third Eye Blind – Jumper lyrics
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.

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

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,
I would understand...

(I would understand)
(I would understand)
(Understand)

Ya ya ya ya ya...

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
(X2)

    I believe the meaning of the song is obvious. The singer is begging a friend of theirs to wait. to stop and think about what they're doing. The person is clearly experiencing issues, as shown in the verses of the song. he says, "we can do this together. we can work to make it better." It even takes it so far to say "And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand." When most people get help, they're initially angry at the person who reported them. but later on, after therapy and proper medication, the victim will realize that their life had been saved back then. I can say now, that this is true. my best friend made me see a counselor after having a panic attack.

    its about the song writer/singer Stephan Jenkins facing a suicidal stranger, the meaning behind "if you do not want to see me again, i would understand" is that the singer/writer has been in the same situation as the person wanting to end their life, but they have over come it through their tribulations. but after they've been through it all they can get why someone would want to end their life rather than face their problems that haunt them to the point of drowning themselves with various vices as the singer/writer has done. the singer wants the suicidal person to face all of their problems and become a better person because of it rather than their lives away.

    I love the words to this song. I have never heard it and today I was thinking about how much I hated the things going on in my life and then I read the lyrics to this song. It reminds me of my boyfriend who had kiled himself earlier this year. I miss him alot and I find myself thinking of him often. Knowing I might lose my current boyfriend to suicide such as this. I don't think I could take much more of this heartache. I think that its me who is causing this though.
