Jumper
Boyce Avenue Lyrics

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I want you to reconsider your decision to end your life by jumping off a ledge, my friend.

You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in
You have the power to break free from the false stories and illusions that have been plaguing your life and causing you pain.

And if you do not want to see me again
If you feel that our relationship is part of the pain or burden you want to escape from, I respect your choice and will not force my presence upon you.

I would understand, i would understand
I empathize with your struggles and would not judge or abandon you for seeking a way out of your pain.

The angry boy, a bit too insane
You are feeling overwhelmed by your negative emotions and your behavior may seem uncontrollable or irrational to others.

Icing over a secret pain
You are trying to numb or hide an inner wound and pretend that everything is okay when it's not.

You know you don't belong
You feel alienated from yourself or from the world around you and struggle to find a sense of purpose or belonging.

You're the first to fight
You tend to react aggressively or defensively to perceived threats or challenges, perhaps out of fear or insecurity.

You're way too loud
You express yourself in a way that draws too much attention or hostility and may not reflect your true feelings or needs.

You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
Your behavior or appearance may seem shocking or ironic in the face of a serious or deadly situation, like a flicker of hope or rebellion before the end.

I know something's wrong
I sense that there is a deeper issue or pain that is driving your extreme behavior or thoughts, and I want to help you address it.

Well, everyone i know has got a reason
I understand that we all have our own struggles and history that shape our decisions and attitudes, and I do not minimize or judge your reasons for feeling the way you do.

And well, he's on the table
Someone is lying on a medical table or bed, perhaps undergoing an emergency or critical treatment, and the singer is observing the scene with uncertainty or dread.

And he's gone to code
The person's vital signs or life support system are failing, and the medical staff are scrambling to revive or stabilize him without much success.

And i do not think anyone knows
The singer doubts that the medical professionals or bystanders have a clear plan or understanding of the situation, and feels helpless or frustrated by the chaos and confusion.

What they are doing here
The artist questions the purpose or meaning of this crisis, and wonders whether there is any hope or logic in the face of death or despair.

And your friends have left you
You feel abandoned or rejected by people you used to trust or rely on, and may believe that you have no one left to turn to or care about your pain.

You've been dismissed
You have been rejected or ignored by society or institutions that are supposed to provide support or respect to people in need, and may feel devalued or hopeless as a result.

I never thought it would come to this
The singer is expressing sadness or disbelief that things have escalated to the point where you are considering or attempting suicide, and regrets not being able to detect or prevent your pain earlier.

And i, i want you to know
The artist wants to communicate his or her concern, love, or understanding for you, and hopes that you can feel the sincerity and urgency of his or her words.

Everyone's got to face down the demons
We all have inner demons or traumas that haunt us or sabotage our lives, and it takes courage and vulnerability to confront and overcome them.

Maybe today we can put the past away
Perhaps today is the day when we can start fresh, let go of past regrets or traumas, and move forward with a new perspective or hope.

Can you put the past away?
Can you find the strength and willingness to let go of your past hurts, disappointments, or losses, and focus on the present and future instead?

I would understand
The artist reassures you that he or she would not condemn or reject you for seeking emotional or mental relief, and would continue to support or respect you.

Understand
The singer emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding and empathy in a difficult situation where communication and connection can make a difference.
