[Verse 1 - Pharrell]
Hello? Hey mom, it's me mom
Can't tell you where I sleep mom
Cause that's where we be mom
Sometimes I steal and cheat mom
Yes, I get enough to eat mom
Mom, can you listen to me?
No! I don't mess with guns
Yes in my travels I have seen one
No, being a runaway is no fun
But house rules sure were not fun
Something told me to

[Chorus - Joel Madden & Benji Madden]
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
And I don't care now
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
Cause we don't get out
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
I'll pack my things now
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
Fuck this shit right now, I'm checking out
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!)

[Verse 2 - Joel Madden]
Hey dad, I'm ok dad, that's what you say dad
I never could obey dad
You would have bad days dad
And you would make me pay dad
Make me feel way sad
Punk rock, tatoos, leather jacket
Good grades don't come with that package
Yes y'all I would love to match it
But names just make it harder to hack it by

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Pharrell + (Joel Madden)]
Don't let your teachers teach you about wealth to death
Maybe there's something else (I'm checking out)
Don't let NASA teach you that we are by ourselves
Cause trust me there's something else (I'm checking out)
Oh la la la, la la, la la - la la la, la la, la la
Shh.. maybe there's something else (I'm checking out)
See we're not part of the magna charta
There's no shuttle for us to charter
No.. they're keeping it for themselves (I'm checking out)
Tell my ex-girlfriend I'm trying
And her new boyfriend I'd fight him
And what about my couzins?
Tell em that I love em
I'm not perfect nor facetious
But at home I've felt seedless
Your son completely hateless
Turn to BBC you should see this
A thousand heads

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I woke up thinking someday (I'm checking out) (jump!)
Wish I had it my way (jump!)
Though I'm a rebel some can say (I'm checking out) (jump!)
I'm told it's neither (jump! jump! jump!)
(I'm checking out) ..
(I'm checking out)
[scratched] N-E-R-D

    Lyric Correction:lol @ "Don't let NASA teach you that we are by ourselves"

    It's "Don't let that song teach you..."

    General Comment:It might not be exactly about suicide, but it definitely can allude to that.

    The theme of the song is to get away from your problems and what you don't like, basically to escape. So suicide is a form of escape (jumping off something). Running away seems to be what they talk about (jumping the fence, escape), though. Either way, it's a wonderful song to listen to when you feel like jumping yourself.

    General Comment:it's definitely not about suicide, but about risking it all, like running away from home.

    General Comment:this song is so good
    "You would have bad days dad
    And you would make me pay dad
    Make me feel way sad
    Punk rock, tatoos, leather jacket
    Good grades don't come with that package"

    I think that part is the best
    to me sounds like the dad beats the kid and there's too many rules in the house and they can't really be themselves
    so they decide to leave rather than stay and stick it out
    the whole song is kinda like a teen anthem b/c everyone feels like saying fuck this shit and leaving school or their parent's house
    very good song

    General Comment:I don't think jumping really is a metaphor for suicide, maybe just leaving.

    I don't think Pharrel would do a song about suicide. Great song tho.

    General Comment:I dont think its about suicide. Why they be telling the people listening to it to ' jump '? Its a great song and i love it more cause Joel and Benji are in it cause they always make great music.

    General Comment:Benji and Joel had true problems with their dad, so I reckon maybe this song's about being in a state of mind where you're sick of the sit you're in and you just gotta get out, so you do. But I reckon these guys were under some kind of influence when they wrote half thsi stuff anyway.
