Song lyrics
Amy's gone
And time rolls on
How far? how fast? how long?

The last time we saw Amy
She was headed 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 our last good-bye

Chorus:
Amy was a fighter
She cut like Casius Clay
She burned like a fire
Despite these rains 
When 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

Chorus

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

Chorus

How long? (3x)
The last time we saw Amy(5x)

as to trentsailors remark i belive everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, even though I would want to hear why and not just blurt that out.

Anyway i have another opinion, I think switchfoot is great and a friend sent me this and after i heard it over and over i realised i love this song.
It makes me sad sort of, I like to listen to it on the bus, watch things go by and just think...I think it is really pretty....

sue13love, I think you laid it on a little thick. As Christians, we shouldn't be the ones to Judge. Leave that up to God. He's entitled to his own opinion.

Awesome song though, Switchfoot is my favorite and can't wait to see their new album "Nothing is Sound" come out. Really deep, meaningful song.

My name's Amy. =]
And I like the song lots.
I liked Switchfoot better, before I knew they were a Christian band.
I mean I'm Christian, but I like calling the just plain rock better.
