Analysis of Back and Forth



OK, It’s tomorrow.
JUMP!
No Brian don't do it!
If you go I'm going with you
I can't live my life, this life without you
JUMP!
My brain is telling me to do it I can't think of anything else
I'm sorry to all of my friends
it is not your fault that this is happening to me
I love you all but this is just me
JUMP!
NO BRAIN I DON’T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU
I HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR I KNOW THAT ITS TRUE
I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY I'M NOT GOING THROUGH
JUMP!
I have what to live for if I go I'm throwing away so much potential
My life might suck, be terrible, and awful,
but pushing through this is something I have to do

You know that you want to; you have nothing to live for
I have something to live for
You have nothing to live for
I have so much to live for
BRIAN YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR
Just take one step away from the ledge
Just ease your finger on the trigger of death
Just try one more day it’ll look up my friend

You can crush these thoughts that are plaguing your mind
You don't have to listen it shows you are strong

JUMP!
DONT JUMP
JUMP!
DONT JUMP
JUMP!
I won't jump
I'll go till tomorrow and decide again then
