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 mice and 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

Great song. Though to all the people who think this song has anything to do with Christianity, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meant_to_Live. Learn to do research. The band itself is Alternative too.

its this whole "christian band" thing that puts unbelievers off. can we not put switchfoot in a box? jesus didn't die for a few tunes, so its not "christian" music, its just the guys who are saved.. their music is universal & everyone can relate to it. lets stop crying "they're christian" as if they belong to our political party or something. no. let the music touch everyone where they're at.

"As a musician I guess the only thing I would ask from a listener is to put the CD in, close your eyes and forget about all the peripherals," says Jon Foreman. "I guess that's a dream that may not happen in my lifetime, but I listen to music from all sorts of people and I think there is an open-minded individual who will be able to listen to music of all types."

I used to be obsessed with this song, not so now. Still good though.


The only song worth listening to on the CD...
