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

Love them!! Did you know they are a christian band? It's awesome that they get on the secular radio stations too though. Anyway, they are awesome.

A great song but SF really does have better! I'm glad they are getting into the mainstream to spread the word of God. They are doing a killer job.

I'm not into Christian Rock, I didn't even know Switchfoot was a Christian Rock band...but this is a good song and it's getting the hell played out of it around here (oops...maybe shouldn't have used that word when talking about a Chrsitian group. oh well.)

I've just NOT been downloading, illegally, the Spiderman 2 Soundtrack, and I have NOT just heard this song. I have NOT fallen in love with it, because I haven't downloaded it and therefore haven't heard it. You with me?

DUDE! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG EVER, EVER EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER...etc.!!! It all started when I went to UCYC and met a band named DSM (Do Something Meaningful)! The lead singer told me that their electric guitar player was gonna sing it instead of him coz his throat was hurting! He said it was a surprise and said if I told n e one he would smack me! When Lef-D, he's the guitar player, sang the song, and played it, he sounded JUST LIKE HIM!!! Want a mental image? Think of Billy Martin of Good Charlotte singing JUST LIKE the lead singer of Switchfoot!!! N e waze, like I said, he sounded AWESOME!!! ......Good times...Good times!!!
