I wish you would step back
From that ledge,_____my friend. CHORUS 1
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,

The angry boy, a bit too insane, VERSE 1
Icing over a secret pain.
You know you don't belong.

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.
