| source= Switchfootopia New Way to be Human Everyday it's the same thing Another trend has begun Hey kids, this might be the one It's a race to be noticed And it's leaving us numb Hey kids, we can't be the ones With all of our fashions We're still incomplete The God of redemption Could break our routine There's a new way to be human It's nothing we've ever been There's a new way to be human New way to be human And where is our inspiration? When all the heroes have gone Hey kids, could we be the ones? 'Cause nobody's famous And nobody's fine We all need forgiveness We're longing inside There's a new way to be human It's nothing we've ever been There's a new way to be human It's spreading under my skin There's a new way to be human Where divinity blends With a new way to be human New way to be human You're throwing your love across My impossible space You've created me Take me out of me into A new way to be human To a new way to be human You're a new way to be human Where my humanity bends To a new way to be human Redemption begins You're a new way to be human You're a new way to be human You're the only way to be human You're a new way to be human Incomplete He's washing his face to start his day He's lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Nothing in the mirror ever shows him what's within Now's he's checking out the faces On the back of the milk He's sour under all this pressure He thinks the missing person looks an awful lot like him And he starts his engine But he knows that he's missing gears Incomplete! Where will you find yourself? Incomplete! Where will you find yourself? (Where will you lose yourself?) 'Cause you're the missing person now Step outside your doubt And let yourself be found! He's sick of the race to just save face He's tied and tried, he's sick and tired He's tired of the holes that are keeping him incomplete He'll push the pedal to the floor Like the day before He's trying to be always trying Try to find an end to justify his means Sooner or Later (Soren's Song) 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 Sooner or later they'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 Company Car Mike was right when he said I'd put up A fight to be someone, a fight to be me But see now, I'm down Under the pavement Of Capitals hills and lowercase people As time rolls by my dreams have become That which is attainable Now what I'm looking for! I've got the company car I'm the one swinging at two below par Yeah, I've become one with the ones That I've never believed in But I've got the company car (Hey)I'm the king of things I've always despised I'm the gingerbread man Who got eaten alive I'm half baked! I'm fake! But see I've got hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk And two hundred bucks I pass go but, oh! Life's taken it's toll Have I won monopoly to forfeit my soul? All the kings horses At the foot of the wall They're taking pictures of The man who's last all of his Masks of pretension He's got two faces left His is the one that he hides On the left behind that smile Hiding tears and fear That burn like an engine It drives him away From the ones that he loves Mike was right: "Hey Mike! We're one and the same; We're the faceless combatants in the loneliest game" Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by With that smirk in my eye, yelling "Hey, I'm something man, check me out!" Let That Be Enough I wish I had what I need To be on my own 'Cause I feel so defeated And I'm feeling alone And it all seems so helpless And I have no plans I'm a plane in the sunset With nowhere to land And all I see It could never make me happy And all my sand castles Spend their time collapsing Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me Let that be enough It's my birthday tomorrow No one here could now I was born this Thursday 22 years ago And I feel stuck Watching history repeating Yeah, who am I? Just a kid who knows he's needy Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me And let that be enough Something More (Augustine's Confession) Augustine Just woke up with a broken heart All this time He's never been awake before At thirty-one His whole world is a question mark All this time He's never been awake before Watching dreams the he once had Feed the flames inside his head In a quiet desperation of the emptiness he says "There's gotta be something more Than what I'm living for I'm crying out to You" Augustine All his fears keep falling out All this time he's never been awake before Finding now His old dreams aren't panning out All this time He's never been awake before But he's mad to be alive And he's dying to be met In a quiet desperation of the emptiness he says... "Hey I give it all away Nothing I was holding back remains Hey, I give it all away Looking for the grace of God today" Only Hope There's a song that's inside of my soul It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake and in the infinite cold But You sing to me over and over and over again So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands And pray to be only Yours I pray to be only Yours I know now You're my only hope Sing to me of the song of the stars Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again When it feels like my dreams are so far Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again I give You my apathy I'm giving You all of me I want Your symphony Singing in all that I am At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back Amy's Song Amy's gone And time rolls on How far? How fast? How long? The last time we saw Amy She was headed off for the shore Fighting off the volatile gray skies She said now begins forever And that no one knows their time We bid farewell not knowing That might be out last goodbye Amy was a fighter She cut like Casius Clay She burned like a fire Despite these rains Where time was a question She only knew one song She's singing, "How far, how fast, how long?" Salvation is a fire In the midnight of the soul It lights up like a can of gasoline 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 When everything stops moving And I stop to catch my breath And ride my train of thought All the way round My thoughts return to Amy And the fire she's begun She came when we were freezing And left us burning up I Turn Everything Over Monday found me on my knees again Breathing You in To blur the lines that mark where I begin And where You end No use in trying to pretend Come take me again 'Cause rumor has it I'm not who I've been Come define me What can we do If the rumors are true? I turn everything over I turn myself in I turn everything over I turn myself in There's nothing left for me to defend I turn everything over I turn myself in, yeah The evidence convicts the hollow men After looking inside To my dismay I find I'm just one of them 'Cause I'm an already but not yet resurrected fallen man Come break this limbo And I know You know just who I've been Come define me Rumor has it You love me Rumor has it the world spins upside down Rumor has my only hope is You And the rumors are true I turn everything over Under the Floor Under the floor Between me and the door There's a presence I cannot deny It's under the car Between me and the stars I see glory filling up the sky And I'm certain that He hears me He listens even as I sing my song I'm emphatic that He's near me And I can see His touch in everything here Deep is the soul Is the space I control Is the one thing I can call as mine Deeper the cold When He's far from soul I surrender all of me inside |
