Chinup...
At first look, yes the lyrics seem pretty harmless and because of it's reputation, the song has become devoid of any real meaning. I thought it silly when I heard this explanation, but when you see that "you got it tough, I've seen the toughest around" and "you've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real" there is certainly more to just jumping in the air...
Most songwriters really don't come out right away and say what their song is about, that's why websites like this one exist.
@Hawkgold However it falls down with the second verse, which suggests it is more about picking up a man in a bar ... nothing in those lines really suggest it is about suicide, and neither does the chorus. The jump is made in a positive manner ... that is like jump up and get out there etc. Nothing in the chorus' delivery suggests it is about jumping to your death.

What is suicidal about these lyrics?
Nothing and everything all at once...
