Song lyrics
So you're standing on a ledge
It looks like you might fall
So far down
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping
And you could have it all
If you learned a little patience
For though I cannot fly
I'm not content to crawl

So give me a little credit
Have in me a little faith
I wanna be with you forever
If tomorrow's not too late
But it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises today

If I am
Another waste of everything you've dreamed of
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

So you're walking on the edge
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
That you don't see 
The hands up held to catch you
And you could find the fault
In the heart that you've been handed
But though you cannot fly
You're not content to crawl

And it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say
But you should never let the sunset on tomorrow
Before the sun rises

If I am
Another waste of everything you hope for
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

So you're standing on a ledge
It looks like you might fall

If I am
Another waste of everything you've dreamed of
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

The answers we find 
Are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don't talk of dreams, I won't mention tomorrow
We won't make those promises that we can't keep

I will never leave you
I will not let you down
I will never leave you
I will not let you down

Good song! There's some sarcasm to it, if I'm getting it right?

He is practically saying that ", phiswh, yeah. I'm gonna let you down... and when I do, you can kick me to the curb..."

but he is meaning, "look, i'm gonna help you through this. you can trust me. I WONT let you down..."

right? i hope...?

What a nice song, and i do get the sarcasm in a way but i think it links more to the independability of teenageers...SO many memories here

Yeh , so many memories... its a great hit to my ears , like a punkish classic of the 90s but ok.. the band is actually still going on I've heard.. just google for it , they had a deal with sony but the company kept the rights and well it was not released (2004 album)
