"On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm"
Well, duh...
"I say your name in silence
You don't wanna hear it right now"
I'm trying to talk to you, but it falls on empty ears/you can't hear me because you're so wrapped up
"The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found"
People are watching and waiting; your tears fall down, counting each thing that you've lost or never had.
"I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true"
Don't make it true that death is the only answer, don't fulfill your wish to die
"Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you"
You think that you'll be better off; the lights down below are inviting you to jump, but don't trust them, you won't achieve anything.
"Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you"
Don't forget us, and don't leave us behind and let everything we had die out
"The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump"
There's a whole world beyond what you're thinking right now, waiting for you, and you have to continue living to see it; you're not thinking clearly and you can't remember (the world) what to live for.
"You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for"
You can't remember why you bother to open your eyes again every day, instead of dying; the effort is too much
"The snow falls quietly
You just can't feel it no more"
The snow is still falling, but you're numb to it
"Somewhere out there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again"
At some point, you got too caught up in the bad things, and couldn't find your way out of that frame of mind. You want to die, to start something new and end all the bad things.
"I don't know how long
I can hold you so strong
I don't know how long
Just take my hand
Give it a chance
Don't jump"
I don't know how long I can stay here and keep you from jumping; you need to take my hand and come back, and give it another chance (he doesn't know how long he'll be able to keep ___ from jumping when they're still unwilling to try)
"And if all that can't hold you back
Then I'll jump for you"
If everything I've told you won't keep you here with me, then I'll go with you.
Or, "I say your name in silence, you don't want to hear it right now," could mean that the speaker is almost afraid to approach the person they want to save.
