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'm not a big fan of Switchfoot, or Christian rock in general, but this song is awesome. Good job, Switchfoot.

This is a great song. I remember the first time I heard it, I didn't know who it was, and it was killing me. Thankfully I found the artist and this song is absolutely amazing.

This is a great song.. but there are only a few other good songs on 'the beautiful letdown' cd.. like 'Dare you to move' and 'gone'.. that's about it .. but it's a great song!

I could care less what religion a person is, or sings for.. if the music is good, its good..

any connections between this song and the book "of mice and men"

anyone read that? if not you should..

i pretty sure this song was inspired from the book, or at least the poem that the book is insprired from

I don't know anything about this band. I havn't heard any other of their songs, however, being a young person in a city that regards itself as 'elite' and not being among this elite group , you tend to appreciate songs like these.

This and Learning to Breathe are their only good songs. Otherwise, I hate them, but they're a good band for Christians.

The fact that the band is Christian shouldn't make you like them better. It should be the quality of their songs...

I didn't know they were a christian band but I'm not going to like them any less because of that. (I'm atheist, you see.) I've heard most of their songs and I like 'em. Meant to Live was the song that made me seek out their work. Their a great band.

i love switchfoot and have for many years now, and seeing them gain popularity is quite a thrill. for those of you out there who lose appreciation for the music because they're a christian band really need to look at what you're judging them on. the song's message is obvious. message and music come hand in hand.

the point is, this song rocks. end of story

I love this song! I'm not too crazy about rock, but I can not stop listening to this song! I think it's so great that a Christian group can get air-play on a mainstream radio station! It's got such a great message!
