Switchfoot - Meant to Live Lyrics

Send "Meant to Live" Ringtone to your Cell

Songwriters: Jonathan Foreman, Timothy David Foreman

Also in: The Beautiful Letdown The Best Yet

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, to 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

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

What does this song mean to you?

Anonymous

I think that the lyrics point to the second chance of being reconciled to God. Reborn. "We want more than this world's got to offer" means that worldly treasures are not the answer. God is the answer.
Anonymous

I think that this song is about someone who has the realization that there must be a GOD. They wonder if there is more to life, after you die. Then, they realize that there must be something more.
