Stand

1997

Take it shallow, like a man, take it any way you feel

Make the choice to stand and fight, or move onto something real

Or is that what you’re looking for

 

She holds you down, holds you back, keeps the reigns tight at her side

Barely let’s you be a man, barely let’s you stay alive

Baby is that what you really want

 

I know that ledge on where you’re standing

I know you want to spread your wings and fly

 

I don’t know why you wont jump

Off of that ledge where you’ve been standing

I don’t know why you wont fall

Into the peace of mind that you could land in

The one thing I do know

Is all you do is stand there

 

Take is shallow, like a man, take it any way you please

Have the balls to stand your ground, or just drown in your disease

Or is that what you’re hoping for

 

I know that ledge on where you’re standing

I know you want to cut the strings and fly

 

I don’t know why you wont jump

Off of that ledge that you’ve been standing

I don’t know why you wont fall

Into the peace of mind that you could land in

The one thing I do know

Is all you do is stand

     The same friend I wrote  '4am' about is also the topic of this song as well. The relationship was not a healthy one for him, however, he couldn't leave her either. From what I have heard, she finally left him a bit later. It's weird how the world works.
