Song lyrics
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, fly 

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

Dreaming about Providence
And whether nicer men have second tries 
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open 
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken 

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

We want more than this world’s got to offer 
We want more than this world’s got to offer 
We want more than the wars of our fathers 
And everything inside screams for second life yeah

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

I think that this song is really great. I am reallyglad to see some of the Christian Groups getting out there. I dont think that if they are Christian or not should matter. Music is music, and the only thing different about Non-Christian and Christian music is that most Christian songs have a good meaning too them. Not saying that Non- Christians ones dont have a good meaning, but i mean, its in the name i guess. All the songs on this cd are good. I dont really know what that one girl was talking about.

I'm really glad to see that Switchfoot is able to be on MTV and everything... I think it's important to let people know that Christian music isn't all hymns and organs all the time and that we know how to jam just as good as any other secular group because alot of ppl use the excuse that Christian music is boring but it's not

i absolutely love switchfoot. it's so great that a Christian band is getting out there and that the secular world is learning that Christian rock is just like secular rock, but with a WAY better message. God is just so awesome. He gave these boys talent and I'm glad to see that they haven't sold out to the world. They use their talent to glorify Him, and THAT is awesome.

This song is what the world needs to hear. You must understand - God has a BETTER LIFE FOR YOU!!!!! Stop letting Satan deceive you, He's only keep you from the best life you can ever have, a life in Jesus Christ. This song talks exactly about that, stop living HALFWAY!!! You were MEANT TO LIVE FOR SOOOOO MUCH MORE!!!!!!! Live for Christ Jesus!!! He loves you, created you in His image, and wants only to have a intimate relationship with you. Stop selling short like the song says, and live for what you created for!!! God Bless all!!!

I'm not a christian or a fan of christian music but I totally agree. It's cool to hear all these christian groups coming out and playing for everyone. This song is great and I love it. It's really one of the best songs I've heard in a while. I hope I don't offend you all but I don't have a religion and I've never gone to church so I'm not really into all of that stuff but I still love this song and Switchfoot is one great band.

this is a great song and it makes me feel good! the seniors who graduated from high school used this for their class song. i am a Christian and the fact that they are a Christian band shouldnt change your opinion if they are good muscians or not. but either way, i love this song but i wish they would stop playing it so much because they're going to kill it! this was one of the songs that is in my group of songs that i hadnt heard of the artist such as all the things she said, bring me to life, and .45 . i went crazy over those songs. i'll shut up now btw I am the Lord's and i rock, go me
