Lyrics that inspire me...

I've been listening to Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown cd, and I'd have to say, they are definitely on my fav band list. The music is super, and the words are simple yet deep. Two of my fav songs, but they're all good really.

This is Your Life
by Jonathan Foreman

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes,
This is your life.
And today is all you've got now.
And today is all you've ever have.
Don't close your eyes.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed
that it would be when the world was younger,
and you had everything to lose?

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?

Meant To Live
by Jonathan Foreman and Tim Foreman

Fumbling his confidence and wondering
why the world has passed him by.
Hoping that he's bent for more
than arguments and failed attempts to fly.

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside.

Dreaming about providence and
whether mice and men have second tries.
Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open,
maybe we're bent and broken.

We want more that this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life.
We were meant to live.
