Story Behind The Song
Written for a friend, I knew, in high school, who suffered from depression and attempted suicide when she was 17. She ended up in the hospital. I was the first person for her to call and decompress with. She was scarred and crying.

Lyrics
Do you know why the world spins?
Because you are still sitting there!
I can't see why you hide from yourself
I don't know where you've been to
I didn't believe he could run like that
I didn't believe she could fly away
I do believe I can jump high
You keep running away from yourself in the mirror
The darkness swallows your pride
I don't see how you can ride away
But I'm still playing the game
I didn't believe he could run like that
I didn't believe she could fly away
I do believe I can jump high
(Instrumental)
I didn't believe he could run like that
I didn't believe she could fly away
I do believe
I didn't believe he could run like that
I didn't believe she could fly away
I do believe, I do believe, I can jump high
I didn't believe he could run like that
I didn't believe she could fly away
I do believe, I do believe I can jump high
high, high
High, high
