Written by band member John Rzeznik, \u201cIris\u201d says, \u201cAnd I\u2019d give up forever to touch you \/ \u2018Cause I know that you feel me somehow \/ You\u2019re the closest to heaven that I\u2019ll ever be \/ And I don\u2019t wanna go home right now \/ And all I can taste is this moment \/ And all I can breathe is your life \/ When sooner or later it\u2019s over \/ I just don\u2019t wanna miss you tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rzeznik wrote<\/a> \u201cIris\u201d specifically for the film, which is about an angel giving up eternal life to be with a woman he loves.<\/p>\n

A multi-platinum hit for \u201cThird Eye Blind\u201d, \u201cJumper\u201d is the final single from the band\u2019s eponymous debut record. Written by lead singer Stephan Jenkins, \u201cJumper\u201d was written as a song to encourage more compassion and less bullying. The song was partially based on someone Jenkins once knew.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Jumper\u2019 is about a guy who jumped off the Coronado Bridge and killed himself,\u201d Jenkins tells Billboard<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a noir-inspired story, and the point was if we have more understanding for each other, then we might give each other credit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJumper\u201d says, \u201cI wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend \/ You could cut ties with all the lies that you\u2019ve been living in \/ And if you do not want to see me again \/ I would understand, I would understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
