Mkay, had to make this thread. XD I sing so many songs a day, I didn't think it was quite possible to know all those words. Anyways, post the name of your favorite song, who it's by, and the lyrics(or your favorite verse, either one). <3

'Whisper' ~Evanescence
Catch me as I fall Say you're here and it's all over now Speaking to the atmosphere No one's here and I fall into myself This truth drives me Into madness I know I can stop the pain If I will it all away
Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep never die)
I'm frightened by what I see But somehow I know That there's much more to come Immobilized by my fear And soon to be Blinded by tears I can stop the pain If I will it all away
Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep never die)
Fallen angels at my feet Whispered voices at my ear Death before my eyes Lying next to me I fear She beckons me Shall I give in Upon my end shall I begin Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end
Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep never die)
Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep never die)
Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep never die)
Servatis a pereculum. Servatis a maleficum

~Switchfoot~ "Underwater"
It's in her head It's in her mind She can't believe it Can't believe she's running Out of time
And any hold That she can find Something to lean on Everybody fails her Half the time
[Chorus:]
Nothing to be She's already been Plenty of time Plenty of time Plenty of time
She lights her candle 6 a.m. Starting a new one Every new one hits her Just the same
Just like clockwork She climbs down Into her bottle No one down there cares To know her name
She's underwater Nowhere now Underwater upside down The rising tide won't Find her now She's lost and found Underwater
She's underwater But she won't drown She can't believe it And every one she meets Feels just the same
It takes all day to Get to tonight What makes the sunset And what makes it go back To where it came
[Chorus]
She's underwater Nowhere now She's underwater Upside down The rising tide won't Find her now She's lost and found Now she's upside down Now she's six feet down
Underwater [4x]

~Switchfoot~ "Sooner Or Later (Soren's Song)"
Come back and haunt me Follow me home Give me a motive Swallow me whole
They say I've lost it What could I know When I'm but a mockery? I'm so alone
Sooner of later you'll find out There's a hole in the wall
Today is ours Condemned to be free Free to keep breathing Free to believe
I look to find you Down on my knees Oh God, I believe! Please help me believe
Sooner or later they'll find out There's a hole in the wall Sooner or later you'll find out That you'll dream to be that small
I'm a believer, help me believe
I gave it all away and lost who I am I threw it all away With everything to gain And I'm taking the leap With dreams of shrinking Yeah, dreams of shrinking

~Switchfoot~ "Poparazzi"
this is a tune for the poparazzi The who's who and the so and so's This is a tune for the graven images Of Marilyn Monroe We saw your face on the magazine We heard your song on the MP3
You're stuck in my head Stuck in my head Stuck in my head You can close your ears and your eyes but Pop will never leave you alone
Leave me alone with all your social mingle You try so hard to stay on top Leave me alone with your little jingle With your picture perfect pop We read the article in Seventeen We saw the video on MTV
This is a tune for the late Nirvana The teen spirit of rock-and-roll This is a tune for the velvet Elvis' On the 90210
I thought my eyes were gonna get off clean Til I read your lips on the TV screen You were busy saying things you didn't mean Now everyone's singing along With your ridiculous song You got it stuck You got it stuck in my head...

~Switchfoot~ "Loser"
Only the losers win they've got nothing to prove They'll leave the world with nothing to lose You can laugh at the weirdos now Wait till wrongs are right They'll be the ones with nothing to hide
'Cause I've been thinking, thinking I've got a plan to lose it all I've got a contract pending on eternity If I haven't already given it away I've got a plan to lose it all
I've been the burnout kid I've been the idiot I'll turn the other cheek to be hit You can take what you want from me Empty me till I'm depleted I'll be around if I'm ever needed
I wrote this song for you To show how I'm selling out I'll take the benefit of a doubt

~Switchfoot~ "On Fire"
They tell you where you need to go They tell you when you'll need to leave They tell you what you need to know They 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
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
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)
Cause everything inside me looks like Everything I hate You are the hope I have for change You are the only chance I'll take
When I'm on fire When You're near me I'm on fire When You speak And I'm on fire Burning at these mysteries These mysteries...
I'm standing on the edge of me [x3] 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
And I'm on fire When You're near me I'm on fire When You speak (Yea) I'm on fire Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries Ah you're the mystery You're the mystery

~Switchfoot~ "Meant To Live"
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
[Chorus] 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 or men have second tries Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
[Chorus]
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

~Swtichfoot~ "Economy Of Mercy"
There's just two ways to lose yourself in this life And neither way is safe In my dreams I see visions of the future But today we have today And where will I find You?
In the economy of mercy I am a poor and begging man In the currency of Grace Is where my song begins In the colors of Your goodness In the scars that mark your skin In the currency of Grace Is where my song begins
These carbon shells These fragile dusty frames House canvases of souls We are bruised and broken masterpieces But we did not paint ourselves And where will I find You?
Where was I when the world was made? Where was I?
I'm lost without You here Yes, I'm lost without You near me I'm lost without You here You knew my name when the world was made

~Switchfoot~ "Redemption"
Four A.M. two hours to go I'm wearing out a lonely glow. I miss you more than I could know. Here I am, here I am, won't you get me?
I've got my hands on redemption's side Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine. I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside and I'll come alive.
With my fist down at your feet I was running out of mysteries Insecure and incomplete, here I am, here I am, won't you get me?
My fears have worn me out My fears have worn me out My fears have worn me, worn me.

~Switchfoot~ "Lonely Nation"
She turns like the ocean She tells no emotion She's been gunning down the fight
She's just reminiscing Blood, sweat, and one thing's missing She's been breaking up inside, inside
Singing without tongues Screaming without lungs I want more than a lonely nation I want more than a lonely nation Desperate we are young Seperate we are one I want more than my desperation I Want more than my lonely nation
We are the target market We set the corporate target We are slaves of what we want We're just numb and amused And we're just used to bad news We are slaves of what we want
Singing without tongues Screaming without lungs I want more than a lonely nation I want more than a lonely nation Desperate we are young Seperate we are one I want more than my desperation I Want more than my lonely nation
Lonely, lonely
Don't leave me home I'm tired Don't leave me home I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low I'm tired of feeling low Feeling low Feeling low Feeling low
Singing without tongues Screaming without lungs Want more than my desperation I want more than my lonely nation Desperate we are young Separate we are one I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation I want more than my lonely nation

~Switchfoot~ "Stars"
[verse 1]
Maybe I've been the problem, maybe I'm the one to blame But even when I turn it off and blame myself, the outcome feels the same I've been thinkin maybe I've been partly cloudy, maybe I'm the chance of rain Maybe I'm overcast, and maybe all my lucks washed down the drain
[pre-chorus]
I've been thinking 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely
[chorus]
But when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars, I feel like myself
[verse 2]
Stars lookin at our planet watching entropy and pain And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane I've been thinking bout the meaning of resistance, of a hope beyond my own And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home
[pre-chorus]
I've been thinking bout everyone, everyone you look so empty
[chorus]
But when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars, I feel like myself
[bridge]
everyone, everyone we feel so lonely everyone, yeah everyone we feel so empty
[chorus]
When I look at the stars, when I look at the stars, when I look at the stars I feel like myself
When I look at the stars, the stars I see someone...

~Switchfoot~ "Politicians"
Everything is broken Everything is broken Everything is breaking down, breaking down
Everything is bleeding Everything is bleeding Everything is breaking down, breaking down
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians Watching for my sky to get torn apart We are broken, we are bitter We're the problem, we're the politicians Watching for our sky to get torn apart C'mon and break me
Entropy and Aching Where have we been aiming? Everything is fading out, fading out We are the faded, splitted, and sedated Everything is fading out, fading out
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians Watching for my sky to get torn apart We are broken, we are bitter We're the problem, we're the politicians Watching for our sky to get torn apart C'mon and break me C'mon and break me
A pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians, politicians, politicians..
I am broken, I am bitter I'm the problem, I'm the politician Watching for my sky to get torn apart C'mon and break me C'mon and break me

~Switchfoot~ "I Dare You To Move"
Welcome to the planet Welcome to existence Everyone's here Everyone's here Everybody's watching you now Everybody waits for you now What happens next?
[Chorus:] I dare you to move I dare you to move I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor I dare you to move I dare you to move Like today never happened Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout Welcome to resistance The tension is here Between who you are and who you could be Between how it is and how it should be
[Chorus]
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell Where can you run to escape from yourself? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here
[Chorus]
