| The first time I heard this song I was in the car with my mom, and I had to bite my lip to keep from crying. I had been suicidal for a while and I could totally relate to the "jumper" in this song. | |

| there are these to kids. One of them is trying to get his friend to stop thinking about suicid and is trying to convince him that "everyone has a reason to put the past away" and start over. he says that he knows it might be hard for him and that he would understand if after he helped him he didn't want to see him again. Its a beautiful song. | |

| This is a really awesome song, one of 3eb's best. It's a cool song to play on guitar and the lyrics are really powerful. | |

| I think this song helped a lot of people understand the way they were feeling. Sometimes all we need is a friend (or anybody) to just be there and care. | |

| In the song the guy DOES actually jump... dont you see that? We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code (code... like when someone dies on the table) 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 | |

| I always pictured it as a song about a friend trying to tell a pal of his to not worry about the past and that moving on is a good option. But now, with this new information, I can understand that it is an anti-suicide song. | |

| I am now a fifteen year old boy from Pennsyvania. I posted something on this song a long time ago but since then something has happened in my life that has totally changed my outlook on this song. A few months ago a friend of mine who I had known for a few years decided to end his life. He shot himself and died in the hospital the next day. It shocked me and everyone who was close to him because it happened so suddenly and no one could have predicted it. We heard the news in school the day after it happened and everyone was just speachless. It was just too hard to believe something like this could happen. Jumper had, before then, always been one of my favorite Third Eye Blind songs but I had never really thought too much about the true meaning of it. After what had happened to my friend, I more understood what the song was really about and it took on a whole new life of its own. It made me wonder what I could have done to save my friend and I wish that I could go back in time and just let him hear the song and show him what the lyrics meant. Maybe if you go through an experience like I did, a song like Jumper just means a lot more to you. And I will never ever be able to hear Jumper and not think of my friend. It brings back so many memories of him. I will always love this song and it has more of a meaning to me than any other song I will ever hear. It really is a beautiful song and after losing a friend who committed suicide, it's good to know that there is an anti-suicide anthem out there. | |

| I can't tell what this song is about. Is someone contemplating suicide? Just kidding, but seriously, has maybe the friend already killed himself? "We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code" as in he's dead in the hospital. | |
