I understand that Glass Animals aren't really suppose to make sense or have a meaning. However I have my own interpretation of this song as well.
This one is about limbo. Well my interpretation of limbo. (I'm not sure if that is the exact word I am looking for, but for now I will use it.)
Limbo is a place where someone (in this case the narrator and lover/friend/ex-lover (?)) loop their own death over and over again for eternity.
The Narrator seems to be the only one in the loop however, even though he is experiencing the same events that took place on the day he died.
From what I understand, the lover committed suicide (via jumping off a cliff) and was probably proposing for the Narrator to jump as well (a double suicide.)
But well the Narrator just watched in shock as the lover jumped and was too late to stop them. He regrets his decision and is wrecked with grief and proposes the line <Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again>, wanting to change his decision and plummets to his death.
Well his death was a bit more brutal. The impact didnt kill him immediately and he suffered for a while before finally dying.
Then he repeats that day, with a ghost of his lover.
