This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a Ben Folds Five song.
Howard,
The strangest thing has happened
Lately when I take a good swing
And all my dreams
They pivot and slip
I drop my fists and lay back laughing
Howard,
My intentions become not to lose what I've won
Ambition is giving way to desperation
And I, I've lost the fight from my eyes
- Chorus -
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
Now I'm told you're growing old
The whole time you knew
A couple of years I'd be through
Has boxing been good to you?
Howard,
I confess I'm scared and lonely and tired
They seem to think I'm made of clay
Another day, I'm not cut out for this
I just know what to say
I say
Oh sometimes I punch myself as hard as I can
Yelling "Nobody cares!"
Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am
I say
Has boxing been good,
Has boxing been good to you?
CLARITY
This song was written by Shawn McDonald, Chris Stevens and Jon Foreman.
Well I'm just a simple man with a simple plan
Trying to find my way home
And this dusted way with nothing left to say
I stagger and I roam
And I'm tired and I'm worn
And my clothes are kind of torn
From this long hard road
My arms and legs are weak
I continue to seek
And leave behind this load
- Chorus -
I need clarity and truth to be
And peace to make me whole
I want freedom to be come and hate to be done
And love to guide my soul
I want love, yeah, I want love
Standing on a battle line
I fight for my mind Aching to be free
In this war that I face as I long to embrace
And be with my king
There's a fire in my soul, desire to be whole
Is deep within in my bones
Now I long to be near as I cast away fear
Running for Your throne
CRAZY IN LOVE
Switchfoot's cover of the Beyonce song.
These are the lyrics to Switchfoot's version.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh (we're gonna)
I'm looking so deep in your eyes
Your touch means more to me every time
When you leave I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny feeling for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
Cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no on else can
- Chorus -
Got me lookin' so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your touch's got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin' so crazy in love, got me lookin'
Got me lookin' so crazy in love
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh (we're gonna)
When I talk to my friends so quietly
"Who she think she is?"
Look at what you did to me
No shoes, no shirt, no sweater vest
If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you knew what I thought I knew
It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
- Chorus -
Got me lookin' so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your touch's got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin' so crazy in love, got me lookin'
Got me lookin' so crazy in love
Lookin' so crazy in love, got me lookin'
Got me lookin' so crazy in love
You've got me looking so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself
Baby, I'm foolish, I don't do this
For no one else
But baby I don't care
Cuz baby your love got the best of me
And baby you're making a fool of me
You got me crazy, don't care who sees
Baby you've got me, you've got me, you've got me
t
- Chorus -
Love got me lookin' so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin' so crazy right now
Your touch got me lookin' so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now
Your kiss got me hoping you came here right now
Lookin' so crazy your love's got me lookin'
Got me lookin' so crazy your love
Yeah!
DAYLIGHT TO BREAK
(No, I will. I'm just going to sing this track first) I've seen the darkest things
Crawling inside of me
I've seen the monsters come alive
I've seen the enemy
The nightmare that follows me
Searching the darkness for a light
- Chorus -
Waiting for daylight to break up this room
Waiting for daylight to break
I've been alone, in the dark I've been dreaming
And waking up without you, I've been waking up without you
For too long
Back in the tragedy
I've made a mess of me
My bitter means, my bitter ends
I see the irony
It gets the best of me
Dying to be made new again
- Chorus -
Waiting for daylight to break up this room
Waiting for daylight to break
I've been alone, in the dark I've been dreaming
The day, when dreamers are awake
The sun hits my eyes and everything is right
I've been waking up without you,
I've been waking up without you,
I've been warring alarms
Till you are in my arms
I've been waking up without you,
I've been waking up without you
For too long
DREAMER
These lyrics are not completely accurate and are subject to change. The title may not be the correct title. This song is by Jon Foreman and Molly Jenson
Last night I had a dream
That we fell in love under moonlight
You and I will always touch
But the morning came too soon
I woke up without you
- Chorus -
And if you want me
Why do you look the other way?
If you need me
Why do you say the things you say?
If you love me
Why do we play the games we play?
Am I in love with the dreamer?
Or am I just in love with the dream?
When I dream, girl
You're the dream that might come true
When you dream, girl
Do you even know it's you?
Dreams are lies in skin
But dreams can't tuck me in
Oh
I believe it
Hey
Are you leaving so soon?
Hey
When you leave me,
You leave me with a hope
That my dream with you might come true
True, true, true
- Chorus -
So if you love me
Why do you look the other way?
If you need me
Why do you say the things you say?
If you love me
Why would we play the games we play?
Am I in love with a dreamer?
Or am I just in love,
Am I in love with the dreamer?
Or am I just in love,
Am I in love with the dreamer?
I'm not sure I'm still in love with the dream.
DO YOU ONLY LOVE THE ONES WHO LOOK LIKE YOU?
These lyrics are not completely accurate and are subject to change. The title may not be the correct title. This song is by Jon Foreman and Molly Jenson
Where is your heart?
Where is this love you talk about?
Did someone hold a gun
To your head?
Who's that girl you laugh about?
Did a feeling do you wrong?
You've been gone to long
Did love her?
Did you leave her cold?
Did you see her through?
Or do you only love the ones who look like you?
Where are you now?
Are you afraid of being found?
See I'm alone when your around
Silly girl
What can you see from way up there?
Is that the world in devil's clothes?
Looking down your nose
Are you lonely?
Are my scars too deep?
Do you have them too?
Or do you only love the ones who look like you?
Listen, love
To a melody to for you
Would it change your point of view?
Or do you only love the ones who sing your tune?
Or do you only love the ones who look like you?
EVERGREEN
Me and the trees, losing our leaves
Falling like blood on the ground
I want to be evergreen
Everything dies, I know last night
Part of me wasn't around
I want to be evergreen
Yeah, evergreen...
Waiting, and listening
Hoping and missing all of our time left alone
I'm the one cutting the rope
Frostbite in winter,
Cuts like a splinter
You come and follow me down
I'm the one cutting the rope
Yeah...
- Chorus -
Holiday end, I'm here once again,
And I'm left alone on the bus with my
Head on the ground,
In hopes that I'm found by you this time around
The sun will rise soon and tackle the moon
Chasing it still in the sky
All that I've got is tonight
Excuses and reasons, and now 'tis the season
For all that I never got right
All that I've got is tonight
The night is a crow, saying come hold me
All that I know is I've been so lonely for thee
All that I knew, and all that I know, found itself under your rain
I want to be evergreen
I want to be evergreen!
- Chorus -
Holiday end, I'm here once again,
And I'm left alone on the bus with my
Head on the ground,
In hopes that I'm found by you this time around
I want to be evergreen, I want to live all year round (4x)
GOD ONLY KNOWS
This is not an original Switchfoot song. It's a cover of a Beach Boys song
I may not always love you
But as long there are stars above you
You'll never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
- Chorus -
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
My life would still go on believe me
But this world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
- Chorus -
God only knows what I'd be without you
Ahhhhhhhhhh
La la la la la la
Ahhhhhhhhhh
God only knows what I'd be without you
(God only knows what I'd be without)
God only knows what I'd be without you
(God only knows what I'd be without)
God only knows, God only knows what I'd be without you
(God only knows what I'd be without)
GOODNIGHT PUNK
Everything I ever need to know
I learned at the punk rock show
The punks should know
How to throw an elbow or a fist
A spitting world of hit and miss
A violent place of that and this
But hold on, hold on
We'll never be quite punk enough
Hold on, hold on
I'll never be quite punk enough for you
Every since I first learned how to spit
I wished I were a punk rock kid
A punk rock kid
I never really knew quite what to do
I'll never be as punk as you
As punk as you, as punk as you, and your tattoo
But hold on, hold on
Punk is more than leather jackets
Hold on, hold on
Punk is dead but pop was never cool
What are we gonna do?
JUST ROB ME
Though these lyrics do not exactly match the existing live recording of the song, they are the correct lyrics, as told to us by Jon Foreman.
I met a pretty girl the next town over
Running like a river, thin and long
Other than her dress
She looked mighty well depressed
So I asked this little lady what was wrong
She said, "All my life I've tried to be an outlaw
I've tried to spit and chew and steal and rob
But I ain't no good at thieven'
So I might as well be leaven
I think I'm off and go get a job"
I told the pretty girl, "Don't be so foolish
Don't be so quick to leave a life of crime
See I'll be quick to call it
You can practice on my wallet
And that way if you're caught you won't do time"
Just rob me!
Just rob me!
A pretty face like yours don't come for free
If I can call you honey
Well then you can take my money
So darlin keep your gun
And just rob me
I see the girl again a few months later
To see her with her gun was a relief
I said, "Honey you've got attributes
Like lace and lips and high heeled boots
But dearie your just no good as a thief"
R
She said, "Mister how do you know that I'm failin'
I might have robbed twenty banks today"
I looked into her eyes
And said, "Miss, I'd be surprised,
You're pointing that there gun the wrong way.
Just rob me
Just rob me
Money never did grow up on trees
See, you're no good at crookin
But you're mighty fine at lookin"
Oh, honey take my money,
Just rob me
Maybe every woman is an outlaw
I'm pretty sure they're pretty thieves in black
They'll make you scream like smoke
And then they rob you broke
But I suppose don't mind being robbed like that
So my pretty thief and I started a family
Yeah my outlaw's been given me inlaws
She kept her thievin art
Sure as rain she stole my heart
But she tells me it's for a worthy cause
Just rob me
Just rob me
deep down my darlin' is a thief
Oh, she may do the dishes
But I still pay her for my kisses
I know it's not malicious
She's just in the thievin business
She calls herself my Mrs.
But she's got me by the britches
I say honey
Take the money
Just rob me!
Just rob me!
Just rob me!
A pretty face like yours don't come for free
If I can call you honey
Well then you can take my money
So darlin keep your gun
And just rob me
MONDAY COMES AROUND
Friday, Monday comes around
She's a girl with the weight of the world on her big brown eyes
She's a girl who's been talking to herself to apologize
She'll never do it again she promised
But then she hasn't been all that honest
Can she trust herself to be herself?
Or is she talking to herself again?
- Chorus -
Hey Friday what you gonna do now
When Monday comes around
Hey Friday what gonna do now
When Monday comes around
Come around
When Monday comes around
Monday comes, when or where do you run to find a second start?
Where do you go when you're broken, alone, and Friday falls apart?
Yeah, yeah
All these questions are leaving her shaking
Can you be two girls in one?
Can your heart bend this much without breaking,
And you know that you know, and you can never have it both ways
Don't take it easy
Don't take it easy
Your saying is "Everybody's giving and taking, giving and taking,
Everything's taken away"
Friday, Monday comes around (repeat x7)
On Friday, Monday will always come around
It always comes around
OLD BOREGO
(Yeah!
Whatever
One, two, three
It's almost Christmas/New Year)
I've seen snow on Christmas Eve,
Gracing frosted evergreens
After most the trees go brown
I'm still standing
I've been miles away from home
Trapped in Charles Dickens' poems I've been freezing in this town,
But I'm still standing
(One, two, three)
- Chorus -
It's almost New Year,
In San Diego
Another Christmas,
In Old Borego
Face-down in a little white shack in the back room
This town is a 35 Ford in a bad mood, in a bad mood
I hear you when I'm asleep,
Missy you're the love I keep
But I still got no cash to send,
In my pocket
It's been months since we first kissed,
But your face is what I miss,
And I keep your picture bent in my pocket
REBELLION (LIES)
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This song is originally by Arcade Fire
Sleeping is giving in,
No matter what the time is
Sleeping is giving in,
So lift those heavy eyelids.
People say that you'll die faster than without water.
But we know it's just a lie,
To scare your son and scare your daughter.
People say that your dreams are the only things that save ya.
Come on baby in our dreams,
We can live our misbehavior.
Close your eyes, every time you close your eyes, (lies, lies, lies)
Close your eyes, every time you close your eyes, (lies, lies, lies!)
Two lovers underneath the covers,
Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers,
Hide from your brothers underneath the covers,
Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers,
Now here's the sun, it's alright!
Here's the moon, it's alright!
Here's the sun, it's alright!
Here's the moon, it's alright!
But every time you close your eyes,
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies, lies!
REBUILD
Watching the world with my highway eyes
Watching the world from the windows that I've known
These mobile homes
Loneliness was a friend of mine
But with you that's through and I feel home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
- Chorus -
Oh we're the regeneration
Oh with time to kill
Oh we're the regeneration
Oh rebuild, rebuild
You lit a fire in the pouring rain
But there's so many noisy voices
Oh! I get so cold.
The city lights and the midnight train
I hate to say it but I get caught letting go
Of the things I know
Do not conform to this
Do not conform
Every life comes with a broken heart
Dying here to be made whole
We are the lost souls with a second start
Following the builder home
There's a temple I've found in the strangest part
Where the stones are built of souls
Where the builder himself has promised, "love,
I'm never going to let you go. Go!"
Rebuild
RESPECT
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This song is originally by Aretha Frankline.
These are the lyrics to Switchfoot's version.
What you want
Baby I got it
What you need
Hey, you know I got it
- Chorus -
All I'm asking is for a little respect (just a little bit)
Yeah baby (just a little bit)
Ah, come on (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
Oh you'll keep it
Sweeter than honey
And guess what?
So we step on the last man
- Chorus -
All I'm asking is for a little respect (just a little bit)
Yeah baby (just a little bit)
Ah, come on (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
I said re-re-re-re-re yaayaaa!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
*crowd* R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I said R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
*crowd* R-E-S-P-E-C-T
One, two, three, four!
RUNNING FROM ME
These lyrics are not completely accurate and are subject to change.
I'm stuck with these sins
I'm hoping maybe time can resolve them
I'm a lying, cheating, thieving, coward
Just trying to follow Christ
I'm hoping He can fix this old dog with new tricks
His death is my only device
Yeah death is my only device
- Chorus -
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed to break free
Well all that's true
Thought I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
There's a girl who lives down my street
She says the flowers take care of the bees
She tells me 'I'm poor and my daddy's at war,
Oh who's gonna take care of me?'
Now if history is violence and sex,
I'd rather not pay my respects
If I've caused offense,
If I'm too direct
I'm just trying to talk some sense
I'm politically incorrect
I said
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
I've been giving this a lot of thought
Who am I and who on earth is God?
The answer ain't kind
Or easy to find
But by God, it's the only answer I've got
Yeah God is the only chance I've got
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
SOMEDAY WE'LL KNOW
This is not an original Switchfoot song.
This is a cover of a New Radicals song that Jon Foreman and Mandy Moore preformed for A Walk To Remember.
Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving I don't know why
So many questions I need an answer
Two years later he's still on my mind
What ever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
- Chorus -
Someday we'll know, if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know, why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know, why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Altantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety-seventh time tonight
- Chorus -
Someday we'll know, if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know, why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know, why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Deliah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?
- Chorus -
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Yea yea yeah yeah
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Deliah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
SOONER OR LATER (Electra Version)
Come back and haunt me
Follow me home
Give me a motive
Swallow me whole
They say I've lost it
What could I know
When I'm but a mockery
I'm so alone
Sooner or later you'll find out
There's a hole in the wall
Today is ours
Condemned to be free
Free to keep breathing
Free to believe
I look to find You
Down on my knees
Oh God, I believe!
Please help me believe
-Chorus-
Sooner or later you'll find out
There's a hole in the wall
Sooner or later you'll find out
That you'll dream to be that small
I'm a believer, help me believe
I gave it all away and I lost who I am
I threw it all away
With everything to gain
And I'm taking the leap
With dreams of shrinking
Yeah, dreams of shrinking
Come back and haunt me
Follow me home
Give me a motive
Swallow me whole
Come back
Sooner or later
Oh
Find out, found out
Following me home tonight
Tonight
I want to feel life bleeding
I want to feel life choice
And when I see the sky in front of me,
I want to hear a still small voice
Following me home
I'm found out, found out
SORROW
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a Bad Religion song.
Father can you hear me?
Have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
And all the sorrow in this land
Let me take you to the herding ground
Where all good men are trampled down
To settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son
Oh guide me now for I can't see
A reason for this suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well then I do imagine
- Chorus -
There will be sorrow
There will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more
When all soldiers lay their weapons down
When the kings and the queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves
It's easy to imagine
SPIRIT
Spirit, fall fresh on me
Spirit, fall fresh on me
Hear my cry
Fill my life
I won't need anything
But You
- Chorus -
I've found all that I want
All that I long for in You
I've found all that I want
All that I long for in You
And wasted time, is when I'm far from Your truth
I've found all that I want
All that I long for in You
Spirit, come be my joy
Spirit, come be my joy
Be my song
Fill my lungs
I won't need anything
But You
Yes, You're all that I want
All that I long for is You
SPIRITS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a Police song.
These are the lyrics to Switchfoot's version of the song.
There is no material solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitutions
There is no bloody revolution
- Chorus -
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
Tell me where does the answer lie?
We live from day to day
If it's something I can't buy (like a car)
There's gotta be another way
We are spirits in the material world
THERE, THERE
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a Radiohead song.
These are the lyrics to Switchfoot's version of the song.
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches, they trip me as I speak
- Chorus -
Just cause you feel it, it doesn't mean it's there
Just cause you feel it, it doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck
Stay away from these rocks, we'd be a walking disaster
- Chorus -
Just cause you feel it, it doesn't mean it's there
Just cause you feel it, well it doesn't mean it's there
It's there
Why so green
And lonely, lonely, lonely?
Heaven sent you to me, to me, to me
We are accidents waiting, waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting, waiting to happen
It's there
THE BLUES - ALTERNATIVE VERSION
This version features a different verse near the end of the song.
Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss?
I miss direction, most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
- Chorus -
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay?
It will be a day like this one, when the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving
There's no one here at all
Is there any net left that could break this fall?
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
You wake alone now
And wish you were asleep
You taste the darkness
But you wish it were a dream
Is this the New Year or is it just another desperation?
Does justice never find you?
Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in
Until the world caves in...
THE STORY OF A MAN NAMED PRIDE
These lyrics are not completely accurate and are subject to change.
I've got a long dark story
The story of a man named Pride
The story of a man named Pride
And how the gun was how he lived and died
Well Pride was a little boy back in '76
His legs got strong and his arms got long
And he moved to the city from the sticks
He started to grow a head taller
Than any of the other boys
He learned how to twirl the guns and the girls
And he treated 'em both like toys
Well someday Pride grew up too easy
And the money rolled in too quick
Well he messed around with the girls 'round town
But none of them could make him stick
Till the day that he met his lady
When she walked right in the door
With a cherry tongue and with legs like rum
She had never been in town before
Her name was anything but love
One look was enough
And Pride went off and fell in love
That night
Oh I said I got a long dark story
The story of a man named Pride
The story of a man named Pride
Oh the gun was how he lived and died
So Pride and his cherry tongued lady
Had been together for a couple of years
And love was wine and death in bind
With liquor mixed up with seers
One night Pride and the lady were out drinking
When she walks right in the door
With another man, strong, tall and tan
He'd never been in that town before
Her name was anything but love
Pride had seen enough
He got up to go and pick his final fight
He said "Hello my name is Pride,
And that there, that's my wife
And this here, this here's the night
That your gonna die"
Well the strong tall man spoke slowly
He said "I've killed too many men before
To care about killing one more tonight"
And two shots broke the silence
One landed in the strangers side
The other one of the two
Whose aim was equally true
Well a bullet found a man named pride
His name was anything but love
But a bullet was enough
Well the gun was how he lived and died
Cause you see everybody dies
Some folks long before their time
Some folks get shot down in their prime
And it was on that fatal night
That the two men shot and died
And one of them was a man
A man named Pride
Oh, I got a long dark story
The story of a man named Pride
The story of a man named Pride
Oh the gun was how he lived and died
THIS IS HOME [SOUNDTRACK VERSION]
I've got my memories
Always inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I've come too far
No, I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place I've never known
- Chorus -
This is home
Now I'm finally where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching for a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone
And now, after all my searching
After all my questions
I'm going to call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I'm going to call it home
Oh
Now I know
This is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back
Yeah, this is home
THIS IS HOME (EVERY BREATH IS MAGIC) [MOVIE VERSION]
I've got my memories, always inside of me
But I can't go back, back to how it was
I believe you now, I've come too far
And I can't go back, back to how it was
So everyday starts with a magic spark
I've got my hopes high with second start
We are miracles, every breath is magic
So you give yourself away, with your miracle heart
Yeah, just to be alive is a magic art
We are miracles, every breath is magic
Belief over misery, I've seen the enemy,
And I won't go back, back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I've got my eyes wide, it's not over yet
We are miracles, and we're not alone...
- Chorus -
That's when everyday starts with a magic spark
I've got my hopes high with second start
We are miracles, every breath is magic
That's when you give yourself away, with your miracle heart
Yeah, just to be alive is a magic art
We are miracles, every breath is magic
THROWING CHAIRS
These lyrics are not completely accurate and are subject to change.
Seatbelts, no smoking, sedated, but I wanna be
Throwing chairs not sleeping on the plane
The dirt, and the energy, the real world, where I wanna be
Throwing chairs, not sleeping on the plane
I wanna wake up low in the world below
I wanna wake up low
The failure, and the hunger,
Ignored so far below us here
Middle class still sleeping on the plane
- Chorus -
I wanna wake up low, In the world below
I wanna love life low, where we need it most
I wanna wake up low, wake up low
I wanna wake up low, In the world below
I wanna love life low, where we need it most
I wanna wake up low, I wanna wake up low
THE WACO SONG
Performed and recorded live at the Baylor University Island Party In Waco - Spring Tour 2007
Jon: Since this is an island party, we figured we'd be the whitest reggae band ever.
Hey Waco! Okay! We've got even like a call and response things. It's like...imagine I'm Sting...and you're not Sting...
Tim: Waco! Waco!
Jon: Yeah, it's like 'Waco!'
Both: 'Waco! Waco! Waco!'
Jon: Whatcha gonna do with them bears? Whatcha gonna do with them bears?
Tim & Crowd: 'Waco! Waco! Waco!'
Jon: Okay now we're gonna sing a verse. Drew you take the first one. Yeah Drew! Andrew Shirley ladies and gentlemen!
Drew: Check, check, one, two, one, two, I like reggae! Sometimes I listen to Bob Marley and the Wailers.
Jon: Nice. This is Tim Foreman, he plays the bass and he's not Sting either.
Tim: When I got to the beach, I bring a surfboard. I'm not much of a sailor.
Jon: Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Foreman playing the bass! This is Jerome Fontamillas. He plays everything else!
Jerome: We came long way from San Deigo and put our instruments in a trailer!
Jon: Hey Chad...are you going to sing a verse? C'mon! Chad's got to sing a verse!
Tim & Crowd: 'Waco! Waco!'
Jon: When I got to the mailbox, I get so sick of all the junk mail and the mailers. But that has nothing to do with what we're doing here, we're playing rock and roll at Baylor.
WE ARE BOUND
These lyrics may not be completely accurate.
A slip of a tongue and fist
A slight of a hand like this
Touch of the fingertips
Goes through the note we skipped
- Chorus -
We are bound
We are falling through you
We are bound
We are falling through
A moment of bitter bliss
Licking your Judas lips
Throwing a timeless fit
With tongues of a fire we lit
- Chorus -
We are bound
We are falling through you
We are bound
We are falling through
We follow sons amiss
The sons of the counterfeits
The devil has called me from inside
We are bound
We are falling through
Counterfeit sons, counterfeit sons, counterfeit sons
WIDE AS A GRAVE
These lyrics are not completely accurate and are subject to change.
Lyric credit: Switchfeed
Your giving is never satisfied,
You open your mouth as wide as a grave,
Yeah, you open your mouth as wide as a grave.
Loving you is a losing fight,
I wanna know where you were last night.
There's been a terror in the middle east,
All in the name of keeping the peace,
Soft foundations were being laid,
You were offended but you still got paid.
You open your mouth as wide as a grave,
Yeah, you open your mouth as wide as a grave.
Alright.
(Instrumental break)
You open your mouth as wide as a grave.
Loving you is a losing fight,
I wanna know where you were last night.
Hello honey, it's a brave new world,
You start a move with your flag unfurled,
Chap stick, spandex, leather and lace,
You're understanding grace as saving the face.
You open your mouth as wide as a grave.
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a U2 song that the bands of the Music Builds tour performed as their encore every night.
These are the lyrics to the Music Build's version.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
But now I stand accused of the things I've said
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump on that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
Used love under a red sunset
Soon making promises I would soon forget
She was pale as the lace of her gown
I go where I go before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint and I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazed in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump on that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump on that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a Bob Dylan song.
These are the lyrics to Switchfoot's version.
My name it ain't nothing
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Southwest
I's taught and brought up there
The law to abide
And that land that I live in
Had God on its side.
The history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalry charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.
And now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
A push of the button
And a shot the world wide
Ah you never ask questions
When God's on your side.
For many longs hours hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
Now I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.
YOUR CHEATING HEART
This is not an original Switchfoot song. This is a cover of a Hank Williams song.
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
Your cheatin' heart will pine some day
And crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
