put the past away

this song came drifting into my head tonight. a budding teen rocker belted it out on american idol this week (surprisingly the judges gave him a "no"), and jim carrey sang it that popular dwarf actor's character who was about to jump, so that helped refresh my memory too. gosh, that was one of the memorable moments on yes man, especially the part where everyone below started joining in.

Jumper
by THIRD EYE BLIND

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

We'll 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 too, 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 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

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
(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
