Switchfoot
so....some people have been complaining cause I never update...for that I'm sorry. I'm going to blame it on writer's block, school, and life in general. So to everyone that wanted me to post again, this blog is for you. Sorry, it's nothing original, just parts of songs that I like from Switchfoot. They aren't the whole song, just lines here and there I like. (ps. soo jealous of Mich who went to their concert without me!! thanks a lot Mich ;) )
Don't Be There:
"I'm down here, and you're way up there
And I won't pretend there's nothing there
You'll be around and I'll be square
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there
You'll be around and I'll be square
I'd like to say hello, I'd like to say I care, I'd like to let you know
That nothing here's the same with me
Nothing here's the same"
Concrete Girl:
"Laugh or cry, I won't mind
Sing it louder, twist and shout
Scream to no one, Take your time
Sing it louder, twist and shout
Concrete girl don't fall down
In this broken world around you
Concrete girl don't fall down
Don't stop thinking, don't stop feeling now
And we're standing on top of our hopes and fears
And we're fighting for words now concrete girl"
You:
"There's always something in the way
There's always something getting though
I find peace when I'm confused
I find hope when I'm let down
Not in me...me in you
It's in you"
Playing for Keeps:
"Tell me tomorrow has come with open arms
If you say it's time to move on
Then I'll stop holding on
Do me a favour,
Would you tell me which way is up?
'Cause I don't know how to quit
Do me a favour,
'Cause I'm playing for keeps"
We Are One Tonight:
"I don't want to fight about it now
With the whole world up-side-down
I don't have a soul to trust in now
With the whole world up-side-down
We are one tonight! And we're singing it out!
We are one tonight! And we're dreaming out loud!"
Daisy:
"Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice of blame
Giving isn't easy
Neither is the rain
When she gives herself away"
This is Your Life:
"Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
This is your life,
Are you who you want to be?
This is your life,
Is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?"
Don't Be There:
"I'm down here, and you're way up there
And I won't pretend there's nothing there
You'll be around and I'll be square
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there
You'll be around and I'll be square
I'd like to say hello, I'd like to say I care, I'd like to let you know
That nothing here's the same with me
Nothing here's the same"
Concrete Girl:
"Laugh or cry, I won't mind
Sing it louder, twist and shout
Scream to no one, Take your time
Sing it louder, twist and shout
Concrete girl don't fall down
In this broken world around you
Concrete girl don't fall down
Don't stop thinking, don't stop feeling now
And we're standing on top of our hopes and fears
And we're fighting for words now concrete girl"

switchfoot. remember when we made up the dates for when their albums were relased. goodtimes.
oh and maybe next year when we room together i'll get you to blog more...becomes an addiciton and you stay up till 1:13 am writing/commenting on blogs when you have midterms. real smooth.
Big fan of switchfoot. Big fan of those songs. Nice post-y.
haha, yes!
It was wonderfully beyond words :) ahhh, but I won't gush about the details. I won't tell you that we got front-center stage, that we could feel every vibration of sound, that jon jumped onto the railing right in front of us and held our hands to keep balance, or that it was one of the best concerts in my life, or that i'm pretty sure nothing can top this, or that switchfoot now is even higher on my very high favorite list....but I won't tell you that....
...that wouldn't be very nice of me, and I don't do that kind of cruel thing... hahaha
from your fav. and very humble ,
Misch
