It was released in August 1998 as the fifth and final single from their self titled album. The song reached number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart[1] The song also peaked number 9 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart. Background and writingLead singer Stephan Jenkins has said that the song is "about a friend who's gay, jumping off a bridge and killing themselves."[2] The song is also about Jenkins' own difficulties, often alienating childhood experiences. He says, "My parents divorced, and that hurt me. We were poor and I went to a rich high school. I was dyslexic and had attention deficit disorder, which I still have. So I carried all these things with me. One afternoon, I had this epiphany. I said 'You know what? I don't have it all together. I come from stuff that was really difficult, and that's me. That's who I am.' I embraced that. There's a line in the song that says, 'Everyone's got to face down the demons/Maybe today we can put the past away.' It's very much a song about putting the past away."[3] Jenkins has identified that over time the song has changed meanings for fans stating "I think that when we first started singing it, it had this darkness to it. Now it has this real levity. It's this huge moment of release for the audience,"[4] also noting that he felt it "wasn't really understood when it first came out"[4] ChartsPeak positions
