We're All Going to Jump

On the count of three
We're going to jump
We're all going to jump
Right, right, right

All of us
At the same time
Are going to jump

Take each other's hands
Take a look at each other
Trust that the person next to you
Is as terrified as you are
Right now

Sing something
Sing something out loud
Sing anything you want
But sing while you jump

We can all go down to Aerosmith
We can all go down to Lena Horne
We can all go down to Van Morrison
But we're all going down

Together

We're all going to jump
We're all going to go
We're all going to do this
We're all chickenshit
We're all heroes
We're all insane
We're all kids
We're all old
We're all us

As us as we'll ever be
And we're all going to jump

Off this cliff
Off this bridge
Off this nightmare
Off this train

Into the abyss
Into the ocean
Into the empty pool
Into the rest of our lives

We're all going to clump
We're all going to separate
We're all going to forget to call each other
We're all going to lose touch
We're all going to hold grudges
We're all going to reunite
We're all going to do it

Once we jump

We're all going to jump
We're all going towards red lights
And speeding up anyway
Hoping it'll turn green on time

We're all going to gasp
As the last breath we take
Is taken by the wind
On the way down

We're all going to die
A little bit as our hearts stop
When the free fall occurs
And we hear ourselves hit
The vast bottom before us

And you only have to be brave enough
To tip forward a little bit
And let the person next to you
Do the same

Then the force will take us forward
Down into the spiraling ground
That wasn't moving before
As the floor rushes up to meet us

But trust this
We are all going to jump

In the hopes that we will see
A unity amongst the clouds
And perhaps instead of falling
We'll find that we can fly

Wouldn't that be grand?
Now take the hands of the people
Standing next to you
They'll hold onto you
They'll jump
Right when you jump

Take a deep breath
Take another
Look at each other

And jump
