Switchfoot Songs by Lyrics #2

Ours is a desperate song You're not that bright, I'm not that strong And our outcome looks exceedingly clear We are always separate, always near

We are always in motion Like the winds, the tides, the ocean Everyday I'm born again I wake up I feel that second wind

Everyone dies Everyone loves a fight Nothing is sound Nothing is right side right

I'm half-baked, I'm fake But see I got hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk And two hundred bucks

Cause if you're stuck with me I guess I'm stuck with you Could we rise above the scars That we both put each other through

A day in LA, and millions of faces Are looking for movement 'Cause everything's stuck, and everything's frozen And everyone's broken

Stepping out of those convenience stores What could we want but more, more, more From the third world to the corporate core We are the symphony of modern humanity

I've got a wound that doesn't heal Burning out again, burning out again I've not sure which of me is real I'm alone again, burning out again

Nothing but a chemical in my head Its nothing but laziness 'cause I don't want to read the book I'll watch the movie

So let's shut up the phone for the rest of the afternoon I don't need nobody right here right now but you Come on hang up and hang out Come on hang up and hang out

The lines start to blur; I get so confused They get shiny new models mixed up with the blues They get binary code mixed up with abuse The facts are simply one option to choose

Just like clockwork she climbs down Into the bottle Yeah, no one down there Cares to know her name

Yeah, she's a freedom fighter She's a stand up kind of girl She's out to start a fire In a bar code plastic world

Hey boy, don't believe them We're the nation that eats our youth Hey boy, don't believe them None of us are bulletproof

I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want to live like I know what I'm leaving I want to know that my heart's still beating, It's beating, it's beating, it's beating, I'm bleeding
