7:THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN SWITCHFOOT

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

It was a beautiful letdown when I crashed and burned

When I found myself alone unknown and hurt

It was a beautiful letdown the day I knew

That all the riches this world had to offer me would never do

~PRE-CHORUS~

In a world full of bitter pain bitter doubt

I was trying so hard to fit in to fit in

Until I found out that

I don't belong here I don't belong here

I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong

I don't belong

~VERSE~

I'll be a beautiful letdown that's what I'll forever be

And though it may cost my soul I'll sing for free

We're still chasing our tails in the rising sun

And our dark water planet's still spinning in a race where no one wins

And no one's won see

~CHORUS~

I don't belong here I don't belong

I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong

(I don't belong) I don't belong here I don't belong here

Kingdom come Your kingdom come won't you let me down

~BRIDGE~

Ah easy living you're not much like the name

Easy dying hey you look just about the same

Will you please take me off your list

Easy living please come on and let me down

The church of the drop outs the losers the sinners the failures and the fools

Oh what a beautiful letdown are we salt in the wound

Hey let us sing one true tune yeah

8:GONE SWITCHFOOT

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup than try to fix what's going on

But the problem keeps on calling even with the cellphone gone

She told him that she believes in living bigger than she's living now

But her world keeps spinning backwards and upside down

~PRE-CHORUS~

Don't say so long and throw yourself wrong

Don't spin today away 'cause today will soon be

~CHORUS~

Gone like yesterday is gone like history is gone

Just try and prove me wrong and pretend like you're immortal

~INTERLUDE~

~VERSE 2~

She said he said live like no tomorrow everyday we borrow

Brings us one step closer to the edge infinity

Where's your treasure where's your hope

If you get the world and lose your soul

She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal

~PRE-CHORUS 2~

Don't say so long you're not that far gone

This could be your big chance to make up today will soon be

~CHORUS 2~

Gone like yesterday is gone like history is gone

The world keeps spinning on you're going going gone

Like summer brake is gone like Saturday is gone

Just try and prove me wrong you pretend like your immortal

Immortal ha ha

~BRIDGE~

We are not infinite we are nor permanent nothing is immediate

We're so confident in our accomplishments look at our decadence

~OUTRO-CHORUS~

Gone like Frank Sinatra like Elvis and his mom

Like Al Pacino's cash nothing last in this life

My high school dreams are gone my childhood sweets are gone

Life is a day that doesn't last for long

Life is more than money time was never money

Time was never cash life is still more than girls

Life is more than hundred dollar bills and rototom fills

Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills

All the riches of the kings end up in wills

We got information in this information age

But do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages

She said he said live like no tomorrow every moment that we borrow

Brings us closer to the God who is not short on cash

Hey Bono I'm glad you asked life is still worth living

Life is still worth living life is more than you are

9:ON FIRE SWITCHFOOT

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

They tell you where you need to go

They tell you when you need to leave

They tell you what you need to know

Tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows

There's more than what you've heard

There's so much more than empty conversations

Filled with empty words

~CHORUS~

And you're on fire when he's near you

You're on fire when he speaks

You're on fire burning at these mysteries

~VERSE~

Give me one more time around

Give me one more chance to see

Give me everything you are

Give me one more chance to be near you and

When everything inside me

Looks like everything I hate

You are the hope I have for change

You are the only chance I'll take

~CHORUS~

When I'm on fire when you're near me

I'm on fire when you speak

I'm on fire burning at these mysteries

Mysteries Mysteries

~INTERLUDE~

~BRIDGE~

I'm standing on the edge of me

I'm standing on the edge of everything

I've never been before

And I've been standing on the edge of me

Standing on the edge

~CHORUS~

And I'm on fire when you're near me

I'm on fire when you speak

Yeah I'm on fire burning out these mysteries

These mysteries These mysteries

10:ADDING TO THE NOISE SWITCHFOOT

~INTRO~

~VERSE 1~

What's it gonna take to slow us down

To let the silence spin us around

What's it gonna take to drop this town

We've been spinning at the speed of sound

Steppin' out of those convenience stores

What could we want but more more more

From the third world to the corp'rate core

~PRE-CHORUS 1~

We are the symphony of modern humanity yeah

~CHORUS 1~

If we're adding to the noise turn off this song

If we're adding to the noise turn off your stereo radio

Video I don't know

~VERSE 2~

What they're gonna think of next

Genetic engineers of the most high tech

A couple new ways to fall into debt

I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet that that T.V set

Tells us what we wanted to hear

But none of these sound bits are coming in clear

From the third world to the corp'rate ear

~PRE-CHORUS 2~

We are the symphony of modern humanity yeah

~CHORUS 2~

If we're adding to the noise turn off this song

Friday Monday comes around

~VERSE 1~

She's a girl with the weight of the world on her big brown eyes

She's a girl who's been talking to herself to apologize

She'll never do it again she promised

Can she trust herself to be herself or is she talking to her self again

~CHORUS 1~

Hey Friday what you gonna do now when Monday comes around

When Monday comes around comes around when Monday comes around

~INTERLUDE~

~VERSE 2~

Monday comes wondering where do you run to find a second start
