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
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

[@Amber_xo_133]

In our 2015 interview with lead singer Stephan Jenkins, he described this song as "a noir about a guy who jumped off a bridge and killed himself because he was gay," adding, "It was really about bullying."

HERE ARE THE LYRICS FOR ALL TO ENJOY :
I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies

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"
Wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies

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.......

[@khizarnajeeb5152]

last week tonight

[@webacedesign]

I agree though he should plug that back into a huge amp with an electric. I did it.

[@alfredooliva5175]

Had no idea Bono played in Third Eye Blind !

[@roberthurns7469]

off the air

[@jkidd3eb]

[@blairskennedy]

[@fana406]

What happened to the rest of the band?

[@chrisfrench9257]

Seems like the sound engineer did them dirty here, lol.

[@rockb78]

[@alfredooliva5175]

Had no idea Bono played in Third Eye Blind !

[@kh66123]

Aye now.

[@jaketaylor5157]

To be fair though the place is horribly EQ’d. The mix is horrible.

[@XCHADHIGGINSX]

Hmm.

[@tracyswan2282]

They still do not know what they are doing here

[@ptochimsrudhdjs]

I'm dead....no pun intended

[@kinhhuan5894]

funhaus

[@shawnrcurrie]

I don't think he can hit high notes anymore and always passes it off to the audience. He literally never sings one single "I would understand!!!!!"

[@xuxis2008]

Jim Carrey sings this song much better

[@ChairmanPaulieD]

ha ha ha that movie scene is a masterpiece lol

[@jtslev]

Pretty lame he skipped all the difficult notes.

[@theheathster5179]

Wow I remember them not sucking but I guess age does that to someone. They are not good at all. I loved them in 97

[@billknable5030]

Who here could tell that the lead singer was getting frustrated with the lead guitarist?

[@paradise_valley]

bro can this guy shut up with the crowdwork during the guitar solo... :/ really hates his guitarists

[@TheCrimsonLover]

Utter crap! Another artist who cannot sing live. And I love he Is fully aware of It and tries to get the crowd to sing the parts he knows he can't lolz.

[@alfredooliva5175]

your a retard. This is a band not celine dion

[@johnnyjohnson5571]

Meh..
