[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]

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

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]

Well, everyone I know has got a reason

To say, "Put the past away"

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]

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

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]

Well 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 you, you've been dismissed

I never thought it would come to this

And I, I want you to know

[Pre-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]

Everyone's got to face down the demons

Maybe today, you could put the past away

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]

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

[Refrain: Stephan Jenkins]

Woo!

I would understand

I would understand

Understand

Ya-ya, ya-ya, ya!

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]

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
