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’re 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
You could 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, I would understand
Can you put the past away

A guy I dated in 8th grade died shortly after high school. After 8th grade we parted ways because we went to different high schools. I didn’t know he was Bipolar. He was having an episode one night and called emergency for help. When the officers had arrived he was on the roof of his house with a BB Gun. His mom and sister were pleading for him to come down and he was refusing. He swung the gun around and for a brief moment of time it landed on one of the officers. The officer was holding a rifle at him and shot, killing him instantly; his mother and sister witnessed as his body fell off the roof.
This song never fails to remind me.
“Jumper” – Third Eye Blind
That gave me the chills.
Aw, sorry :/ {{hugs}}
It’s ok, just having an overly sensitive day. {hug}
Any particular reason?
Oh yes.
You can email me if you want to talk about it. combat5babe at gmail dot com. If not, I understand. No pressure.
I will, thank you. My post from this morning can help explain it in the meantime.
Haha how did you know I was searching my reader for it?
I’m creepy like that..lol
Powerful stuff. Thank you for moving me.
Thank YOU for reading.
Boy how I can relate to some of this right now.
{{hugs}}
Forgot how much i love this song.
Wow what a sad story.
It is. Something you’d hear about happening to someone else on TV. It was surreal when I got the call. I thought they were messing with me. In fact, anytime I was told someone died that I knew I always think they are messing with me at first. Hm.
Thank you for reading and dropping a note. xo
Yeah I am at a loss for words, it is like you say.
I think we all hope that we are being messed with to hear news like that, maybe it’s a brains way of dealing with shocking things.
I think you’re right.
Jumper has always been one of my favorite songs. But I have millions of favorite songs, my friends make fun of me. I gasp when a song starts and they finish my sentence for me, “this is your jam!”
Jumper is a great song, I need to listen to now. Sorry about your friend. It seems so senseless. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you.
So sad. I love the song, but sorry for the memories
Thank you. I find the song comforting. It’s hard to explain.
I understand. There are ones that I cry to, have sad memories to, but love.
I feel wrong liking this. Very sad.
I know what you mean. Thank you for commenting, though. I think that’s more grand.
