Vice Verses Lyrics by Switchfoot

Walking along the high tide line

Watching the Pacific from the sidelines

Wonder what it means to live together

Looking for more than just guidelines

Looking for signs in the night sky

Wishing that I wasn't such a nice guy

Wonder what it means to live forever

Wonder what it means to die

I know there's a meaning to it all

A little resurrection every time I fall

You got your babies I got my hearses

Every blessing comes with a set of curses

I got my vice

I got my vice verses

The wind could be my new obsession

The wind could be my next depression

The wind goes anywhere it wants to

Wishing that I learned my lesson

The ocean sounds like a garage band

Coming at me like a drunk man

The ocean telling me a thousand stories

None of them are lies

I know there's a meaning to it all

A little resurrection every time I fall

You got your babies I got my hearses

Every blessing comes with a set of curses

I got my vice

I got my vice verses

Let the pacific laugh

Be on my epitaph

With it's rising and falling and after all

It's just water and I am just soul

With a body of water and bones

Wanter and bone

Where is God in the city life?

Where is God in the city light?

Where is God in the earthquake?

Where is God in the genocide?

Where are you in my broken heart

Everything seems to fall apart

Everything feels rusted over

Tell me that you're there

I know there's a meaning to it all

A little resurrection every time I fall

You got your babies I got my hearses

Every blessing comes with a set of curses

I got my vices

I got my vice verses

I got my vice verses

I got my vice verses

Souvenirs Lyrics by Switchfoot

Here's to the twilight

Here's to the memories

These are my souvenirs

My mental pictures of everything

Here's to the late nights

Here's to the fire light

These are my souvenirs

My souvenirs

I close my eyes and go back in time

I can see you smiling, you're so alive

We were so young, we had no fear

We were so young, we had no idea that life was just happening

Life was just happening

Here's to your bright eyes

Shining like fireflies

These are my souvenirs

The memory of a lifetime

We were wide eyed with everything

Everything around us

We were enlightened by everything

Everything

So I close my eyes and go back in time

I can see you smiling, you're so alive

I close my eyes and go back in time

You were just a child then, and so was I

We were so young, we had no fear

We were so young, we had no idea

That nothing lasts forever

That nothing lasts forever

Nothing lasts, nothing lasts

You and me together

Were always now or never

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

I close my eyes and go back in time

I can see you smiling, you're so alive

I close my eyes and go back in time

You were wide eyed, you were wide eyed

We were so young, we had no fear

We were so young, we had just begun

A song we knew but had never sung

It burned like fire inside our lungs

And life was just happening(nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)

And life was just happening(nothing lasts, nothing lasts forever)

I wouldn't trade it for anything

My souvenirs

Dark Horses Lyrics by Switchfoot

I've made my mistakes

I seen my heart cave in

I got my scars

I've been to Hell and back again

Going for the blues skies

We'll survive the rain

Going for the sunrise

We'll survive the pain

We're singing

Hey, you can't count us out

We've been running up against the crowd

Yeah, we are the dark horses

We're singing, wait, it's not over now

We've been down but we've never been out

Yeah, we are the dark horses

Found a way out

The city takes everything it can

Outside the crowds, I can feel my lungs again

Going for the blue skies

We'll survive the rain

Going for the sunrise

We'll survive the pain

We're singing

Hey, you can't count us out

We've been running up against the crowd

Yeah, we are the dark horses

We're singing, wait, it's not over now

We've been down but we've never been out

Yeah, we are the dark horses

We're singing

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

Going for the blue skies

Going for the blue skies

Going for the sunrise

We'll survive the pain

We're singing

Hey, you can't count us out

We've been running up against the crowd

Yeah, we are the dark horses

We're singing, wait, don't care what they say

We know we'll find a way

Yeah, we are the dark horses

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

Keep running with the dark horses

??? makes the blood change courses

Keep running with the dark horses

Stand up for the dark horses

Switchfoot - Thrive Lyrics

Vice Verses Album - Switchfoot Lyrics

Thrive Lyrics by Switchfoot

Been fighting things that I can't see in

Like voices coming from the inside of me and

Like doing things I find hard to believe in

Am I myself or am I dreaming?

I've been awake for an hour or so

Checking for a pulse but I just don't know

Am I a man when I feel like a ghost?

The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes

No I'm not alright

I know that I'm not right

A steering wheel don't mean you can drive

A warm body don't mean I'm alive

No I'm not alright

I know that I'm not right

Feels like I travel but I never arrive

I want to thrive not just survive

I come alive when I hear you singing

But lately I haven't been hearing a thing and

I get the feeling that I'm in between

A machine and a man who only looks like me

I try and hide it and not let it show

But deep down inside me I just don't know

Am I a man when I feel like a hoax?

The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes

No I'm not alright

I know that I'm not right

A steering wheel don't mean you can drive

A warm body don't mean I'm alive

No I'm not alright

I know that I'm not right

Feels like I travel but I never arrive

I want to thrive not just survive

I'm always close but I'm never enough

I'm always in line but I'm never in love

I get so down but I won't give up

I get slowed down but I won't give up

Been fighting things that I can't see in

Like voices coming from the inside of me and

Like doing things I find hard to believe in

Am I myself or am I dreaming?

No I'm not alright

I know that I'm not right

A steering wheel don't mean you can drive

A warm body don't mean I'm alive

No I'm not alright

I know that I'm not right

Feel like I travel but I never arrive

I want to thrive not just survive

I want to thrive not just survive

Switchfoot - Selling The News Lyrics

Vice Verses Album - Switchfoot Lyrics

Selling The News Lyrics by Switchfoot

Welcome to the Holy City; the silver screen

Built with the lends of the low self esteem

A teenager's plea for meaning and means

We're selling the news

See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts

The greys instead of the whites and the blacks

If you shoot it too straight it won't come back

We're selling the news

See, money speaks volumes louder than words

And virtues with wings, maybe not quite at first

But salaries are payed with the eyes not the verbs

We're selling the news

See, all men are equal; all is for sale

A powerful dog has been chasing his tale

The lowest common denominator prevails

We're selling the news

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

America listens as the story is told

With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds

But the ratings determine which story was sold

We're selling the news

Begging the question, mongering fears

Stroking the eyes and tickling ears

The truth is seldom just as it appears

We're selling the news

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I can see your talking heads

On the television set

On the Internet they said

The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

Substance, oh, substance, where have you been?

You've been replaced by the masters of spin

Who make good looking books and write history in

We're selling the news

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

When nothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose

When nothing is sacred, all is consumed

We're still on the air, it must be the truth

We're selling the news

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe

But everything I see is green

The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

Blinding Light Lyrics by Switchfoot

Hey boy, don't believe them

Their old lies never could come true

Hey boy, don't believe them

Everything that they told you to

Hey boy, don't believe them

We're the naation that eats our youth

Hey boy, don't believe them

None of us are bulletproof

Yeah

Deep down there's a boy inside

A sleep, waiting for the sun to rise

Wake up, wake up

Still looking for the blinding light

Still looking for the reason why

still looking for the sun to shine

Take me higher and higher

All my life I've been living in the darkest night

Still looking for the blinding light

To take me higher and higher

Hey girl, be yourself now

Don't believe what the told you to

Hey girl, be yourself now

Your skin's more than a pin-up suit

Hey girl, don't conform now

No one else's got soul like you

Hey girl, you're strong one

But none of us are bulletproof

yeah

Deep down there's a hope inside

You got wings but you're scared to fly

Wake up, wake up

Still looking for the blinding light

Still looking for the reason why

still looking for the sun to shine

Take me higher and higher

All my life I've been living in the darkest night

Still looking for the blinding light

To take me higher and higher

Deep down there's a hope inside

Brighter than the fears in my mind

I keep looking for the blinding light

It's hope that keeps me alive

Wake up, wake up

Keep looking for the blinding light

Keep looking for reason why

Keep looking for the sun to shine

Take me higher and higher

All my life I've been living in the darkest night

Still looking for the blinding light

To take me higher and higher

Blinding light, the blinding light

Yeah I've been waiting all my life

To take me higher and higher

Blinding light, you're the vision that gives me sight

All the blinding light, take me higher and higher

Switchfoot - Restless Lyrics

Vice Verses Album - Switchfoot Lyrics

Restless Lyrics by Switchfoot

I am the sea on a moonless night

Calling, falling, slipping tides

I am the leaky, dripping pipes

The endless, aching drops of light

I am the raindrop falling down

Always longing for the deeper ground

I am the broken, breaking seas

Even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers' ways to run

Even the rain to reach the sun

Even my thirsty streams

Even in my dreams

I am restless, I am restless

I am restless, looking for you

I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore

Looking for you

I am the thorn that's stuck in your side

I am the one that you left behind

I am the dried up, doubting eyes

Looking for the well that won't run dry

Running hard for the other side

The world that I've always been denied

Running hard for the infinite

With the tears of saints and hypocrites

Oh, blood of black and white and gray

Death in life and night in day

One by one by one

We let our rivers run

I am restless, I am restless

I am restless, looking for you

I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore

Looking for you

I can't hear you breathing

I can't hear you leading

More than just a feeling

More than just a feeling

I can't feel you reaching

Pushing through the ceiling

Till the final healing

I'm looking for you

Until the sea of glass we meet

At last completed and complete

Where tide and tear and pain subside

And laughter drinks them dry

I'll be waiting, anticipating

All that I aim for, what I was made for

With every heartbeat, all of my blood bleeds

Running inside me, looking for you

I am restless, I am restless

I am restless, looking for you

I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore

I'm looking for you

I can't feel you breathing

I can't feel you leading

More than just a feeling

More than just a feeling

I can't feel you reaching

Pushing through the ceiling

Till the final healing

I'm looking for you

I'm looking for you

Switchfoot - The War Inside Lyrics

Vice Verses Album - Switchfoot Lyrics

The War Inside Lyrics by Switchfoot

Put your hands up open up wide

Put your hands up side by side

Age don’t matter like

Race don’t matter like

Place don’t matter like what’s inside

Let the kick drum kick one time

Breathe out let your mind unwind

Eyes on the ceiling

Looking for the feeling

Wide open let your own eyes shine

Yeah, it’s where the fight begins

Yeah, underneath the skin

Between these hopes and where we’ve been

Every fight comes from the fight within

- Chorus –

I am the war inside

I am the battle line

I am the rising tide

I am the war I fight

Eyes open open wide

I can feel it like a crack in my spine

I can feel it like the back of my mind

I am the war inside

I get the feeling that we’re living in sci-fi

I get the the feeling that our weapons are lo-fi

Ain’t no killer like pride

No killer like I

No killer like what’s inside

Yeah, it’s in the air we breathe

Yeah, it’s in the blood we bleed

Beneath these dreams and what we’ve seen

We are the kids of the in-between

Put your hands up open up wide

put your hands up side by side

Age don’t matter like

Race don’t matter like

Place don’t matter like what’s inside

Yeah, every thought or deed

Yeah, every tree or seed

The big things come from the little dreams

Every world is made by make believe

Switchfoot - Afterlife Lyrics

Vice Verses Album - Switchfoot Lyrics

Afterlife Lyrics by Switchfoot

I've tasted fire I'm ready to come alive

I can't just shut it up and fake that I'm alright

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

I'll Let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin

The way I feel inside, the way the day begins

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the other side

I'm ready now, I'm ready now

Cause everyday the world is made

A chance to change But I feel the same

And I wonder

Why would I wait till I die to come alive?

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

I still believe we could live forever

You and I we begin forever now

Forever now

Forever

I still believe in us together

You and I we're here together now

Forever now

Forever now

Or never now

Cause everyday the world is made

A chance to change But I feel the same

And I wonder

Why would I wait till I die to come alive?

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

Everyday

A choice is made

Everyday

I choose my fate

And I wonder

Why would I wait till I die to come alive?

Everyday I still feel the same

And I wonder why would I wait till I die to come alive?

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting till the afterlife
