Switchfoot - Meant to Live Lyrics

[Bitches907]

Hahaha yea Justin bieber is so fruity

[StephRichnerds]

I don't understand why Justin Bieber songs have more views than this. This is real music.

[michaelw2711]

I like how you misspelled ment! do it your way dude!

[Bitches907]

This song reminds me of when I was a toddler.. Makes me sad because of memories... Fun ones.

[claudiamadison]

isn't this strikingly similar to Stay by Safetysuit?

[SebZero3]

Aren't you supposed to be able to sing along with the song by looking at the screen? the way the words come up does not help with this.

[stargirl3887]

Saw these guys in concert YEARS ago with Third Day and Jars of Clay. I was like 8. Now I'm 14 and I STILL love these guys!

[Ilov3p3opl3]

@muzicluver2000 Yes Plz do everybody!!!!!!

[johncooperroks]

[dannyb13579]

@johncooperroks i dont know, why would they?

[johncooperroks]

[awesomeJUSTIN45]

@Kittykatmeows7 What the heck, that was something good about the band and ur saying crap like that?

[awesomeJUSTIN45]

all the Christian bands i listen to are at the top of my list, right below Linkin Park

[Kittykatmeows7]

@awesomeJUSTIN45 dont even come on here if ur just gonna crap like that, you didnt even listen to this song did you?

[RapAndRock1]

@Kittykatmeows7 I think you misunderstood him..he likes the Christian bands, he just happens to like LP more, and there's nothing wrong with that :D

[PHCflopper]

We were ment to... Wait wat XD

[theindiewii]

[stivils8]

hey, you know you misspelled meant?

[AxisWolfheart]

@stivils8 now c'mon, that's just asking for trouble and/or 'likes'.

[isabellamorales9832]

We were meant to live for so much more. Have we lost ourselves?.........

[IllFaukinKillYa]

we WERE meant to live for so much more..sooo much more.

[Enriquelover00]

forgot about this song. love it :)

[creativewriter1000]

Incredible

Haven't heard this song in years and now it's mindblowing

[bigcarlene]

saw them at YC alberta :)

[MsChocolateisYUMMY]

my school plays their songs 5 minutes before class starts after lunch :)

[BFerriper23]

Like this if you got this from an NHL commercial from last year

[CrazedNovaProduction]

Lots of people missed the point of this song. Sad...

[bloodisit]

@CrazedNovaProduction what is the point of this song? Oh Enlightened one!

[MrHELLRISER321]

try liosting to this with one ear bud=no fun

[snailzillascreator]

@MrHELLRISER321 I know that feel.

[Melobione1]

They are christians! End of discusion

[nchen123]

I hate how all these songs become debates about being Christians. Its good music and that is all that really matters.

[Desertfox1223]

@nchen123 Hear, hear.

[MrFerty08]

@nchen123 That's true... Some of their songs do have religious meaning but there's no need to debate.. people can say stuff about it being religious but arguments about it are useless.

[444fenderman]

@nchen123 i disagree...background to a song means more than you think

[jemsurgirl]

@all of you.. shut up.

[clanofhyrule]

We play this song during wrestling practice. its so uplifting!

[HomerSETH9]

@clanofhyrule you mean it uplifts your boner while you grab men without their shirt on?

[clanofhyrule]

@HomerSETH9 you just proved yourself to be a complete faggot. only someone like you would even THINK of something like that...

[IFoundABabyOnce]

@clanofhyrule

that's fucking nasty bro.....

[creativewriter1000]

@clanofhyrule

that's dramatic irony. lol

[TTron77]

@N0skittles

Ya bitch get in the kitchen

[TTron77]

@n0skittles

No I didn't cuz its not supposed to say tron

The letters stand for something

[TheAlainaMichelle]

everytime i listen to this song, it makes me think about all the petty drama in this huge world and shouldnt busy our time with it :P

[TTron77]

U Spelt meant wrong

[N0skittles]

@TTron77 You spelt Tron wrong, it only has one "T"

[VuzeHelper]

Great song, wishing everyone stopped listening to the mainstream and listened to this every once and a while and realize, we're such small things in the world. Make every second of your life worth being lived. <3

[TheEncyclia]

@VuzeHelper Make that the universe... little pieces of sand grain in a sea of endlessness...

[BanryuuAngel]

Fuckinglovethissong<333333

[treciaalwayz]

I play this song to test out my speakers :P thumbs up if you agree. btw awesome song

[TragedySoldier]

@Derek592 Uhm that all depends how you "force" it on someone. Some people submit to pain, others to threats, others to coercing, Even still it's wrong to force someone to do anything! With the exception of actions that injure themselves or others in any way...

[undergroundmetalac]

never heard this songb efore i watched a bodybuilding video a few years ago and i tihnk its inspirational

[umugwaneza101]

i love this song soooooo much.

[clemson7777]

way to state the obvious uploader

[supraturnerader]

this song is the theme song for my life....seriously. :)

[AmaranthFalcon]

we were meant to live for so much more..I am wondering why the world has passed me by...and so many failed attempts to fly..:(

[Spac3man88]

Seriously? It's the second song I love and didnt't know it was Switchfoot again >.<

[AJewishMidget]

i find this hard to masterbate 2

[7lucky7dude77]

@AJewishMidget wtf are u talking about

[bigflyfisher92]

tell them all to #### off what makes them any better then you swhat meh daddy always said

[polarbearslovemusic]

my church played this song today soooo well i loved it!!! made me come back and listen to this song a million times over after like 7 or eight years

[JaipasdecompteYoutub]

The beginning is like the song Stay by SafetySuit.

[comeoutofyourcave]

I feel like this song is a perfect representation of the human condition.

[duckydinglemuffins]

i just got a boner after hearing this song

[rusty67ful]

ITS PRETY GOOD MUSIC

[shortysofia50714]

I cried to this song and "i dare you to move"..... not knowing that this is a christian band....... its beautiful and has helped me through more then i can describe

[Zairabear]

I love listening to this while wearing headphones. The intro beat jumping back and forth between my ears on full blast. Awesome <3

[8RivenWings8]

@Zairabear Join you on that there lol

[KajuCasa]

@Zairabear omg yes!!! i LOVE it <3 lol

[awesomeJUSTIN45]

@Zairabear especially with skullcandy's

[MadisonDearest1]

First of all... I don't think they should be arguing.. I love jesus but there is a way to preach to people.. 1st by not shoving it their face and make it cool! Trust me, I'd loooove for everybody to go to heaven and spend eternity with God. <3 Thumbs up if you agree :)

[monkeylovegirl]

i think i raped the replay button;)i loooveee this song!

[tiffanyannluttrell]

Oh Yeah! I saw them @ a private concert @ Volkswagen! Yeah. beat that, :)

[WithLoveGeeAndMee]

i went to there concert at rock the desert!! Front row is amazinnnnggg!!!!! <3 They are AMAZING!(:

[Derek592]

As they say, the more you try to force someone onto something the less they will like it. You try to make someone believe there is a god, they won't believe even more. You try to make someone believe there isn't a god, they will believe even more. Violently trying to convert people to your beliefs does nothing but make yourself look bad, and what beliefs you're trying to push on people look bad too. The point to all this is, it's best just to get along and listen to the music together. :D

[11010101101110111111]

@Derek592 i wish the people i know knew that DXXXXX

[theIrishMonkey723]

@Derek592 your partially right people shouldnt force others to believe that jesus died to save us but if nobody says anything about it, then everyones gonna spend eternity in hell. you should consider reading a bible sometime. and whoever is trying to "violently convert" you is really trying to help you so u should listen to them. just sayin. im not being mean just trying to tell you that "maybe youve been livin with your eyes half open" but your not "bent and broken"

[ScreamingInTheCalle]

@theIrishMonkey723 If I may jump into this discussion, I'd like to say that while I totally get your argument that if nobody every said anything about Christ, then soon enough, there'd be no Christians, I think there is a simpler, infinitely more powerful way of introducing Christ to others: leading by example.

I'm not a Christian. I have issues with organized religion. However, if you truly want to reach someone's heart, you do it more by living a Christ-like life than by bible-thumping.

[theIrishMonkey723]

@ScreamingInTheCalle i definately agree with you, but by saying that there is a god in heaven, i am most certainly not bible thumping im not one to do that. and im not trying to force anyone to believe in christ im just trying to be persuasive to you. Jesus said to spread his word and thats what im doing.

[theillestkids]

@theIrishMonkey723 your statement assumes christianity is the true religion . . .no one, from any religion, can assume their religion is the truth . . .i assume thats why its called faith, but i also prefer to live my life according to my own values and personal happyness instead of a book of statements whether by muslims, christians, or daoists . . .i dont even believe in science really, i just try to live my life accordingly

[theIrishMonkey723]

@theillestkids accordingly to what? as a christian, i believe christianity is the true religion and how can you not believe in god when you se all of the beautiful things he created? that puzzles me. And also be careful what you say about the bible. its more than just a book of statements to christians. it may mean nothing to you but some of us value things like a bible. and also "faith" doesnt mean what you said it does. it means having trust and belief in the one true god.

[theillestkids]

@theIrishMonkey723 again, your belief that god made this is world is your opinion and faith, that doesn't mean its true . . . the bible is just a book, just like the quran, or the hindu scriptures. words on paper is essentially all they are and hasn't been proved otherwise . . . . and that is exactly what i implied faith is . . . except faith doesn't have to mean one true god . . . your wrong there

[theillestkids]

@theIrishMonkey723 but its your life, your beliefs, and your choice . . . i have no right to tell you what to do or believe in otherwise . . . im just sporting my opinion on religion and what not :)

[gloinstrong]

@Derek592 As Ben Steller puts it, "I would really have to hate you, If I knew there was a Heaven and Hell, and didn't bother to tell you about Jesus Christ"

[USI1990]

hey u know that every man inside them will be always a boy a0x0ax0a0xaaa......well this talking about god on youtube is really annoying :D

[FlyingRainbows90]

ahh i just love God :) He's so awesome. and for all the other believers who are trying to convert people on youtube, seriously, it wont work.Dont waste your breath. We cant force someone to trust in God,and god doesnt want us to try to force it on people.he wants everyone to choose to love him.it would suck if you found out one day that youre bf/gf was forced to love you by a friend of urs, wouldnt it?same concept.just cool it down guys.If someone is curious about Christ, they'll ask about him.

[tommyboy1861]

We were created by God for His glory, not our own. :) Switchfoot ROCKS!!!

[fudgeanater]

this song is awesome it really helps if your depressed. but seriously stop with the stupid god shit on here. this isnt a church go preach someone else. you cant make someone belive it if you cant prove it. plus just cause a band is a chirstian rock band doesnt mean jack shit. all it means is thats the type of band. doesnt mean they have to sing about god for every song. that would make music sound like shit. they can sing songs about whatever they want. and god has nothing to do with this song!!

[MyEden100]

omg i love that song !!!

[xNevecRemnantx]

Does everything have to be concerned with religion? Why can't we just shut up and enjoy the music.

[TheMileyMandyShowLvr]

@xNevecRemnantx If nothing was about religon what would there be to argue about? God is something that is attainable but the fact your hearing musiic and not getting the full music shows that you dont know true music.

[xNevecRemnantx]

@TheMileyMandyShowLvr Apparently someone is so lovesick to religion they are immoral. Have a good day! :D

[Machinewar6]

@xNevecRemnantx who are you to pick the splinter out of his eye when you have a log in your own

[xNevecRemnantx]

@Machinewar6 That doesn't make since... But I would much rather take the pain from others rather than myself

[gonedias57]

BEST!!!



[toribelle1998]

this song makes me miss fourth grade so much. i had a teacher who was like obsessed with switchfoot and he was the bwst teacher ive ever had so far. he has a bunny named switchfoot that he brought in for show and tell or something one time. i remember him teaching his class very well due to the was he included fun into almost everything.

[razldazlkc]

and apparently that was already posted so nevermind!

[razldazlkc]

when switchfoot asked if they were a christian band they responded "it's a faith, not a genre" so there you have it.

[BarcaBased4Life]

Maybe because they're a Christian rock band dumbass. Good song but they suck dick.

[MrBuddhaa420]

why does everyone get religion from this song? always wanna make shit that simple



[makingfiendsfan]

@MrBuddhaa420 Right? It's annoying.

[KitaWeda]

"We were meant to live for so much more." <3

[teggybear09ful]

we meant to live for more... to Eternity together with God! :')

[AZAwesomness]

The beginning guitar part is SICK.

[wrestlelover7]

"We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves?"

Story of Earth as we know it.

[renegadesBEAST10]

Love this song <33 You did really good on the video(:

[leahrichards96]

such a cool song!!!!!!

[xNevecRemnantx]

@austin2183 How or why was this statement marked as spam?

[531bsmola]

I love this song <3

[Taranox101]

We were meant to live bro... I feel the song at 0:18

Awsome video...

[withjusticeand]

doesnt it absolutely boggle your guys's minds how you came into existence?

like... you didn't even exist. and now you're here, reading this that i'm typing to you.

and i'm here too.

crazy

[sweetandsourpal]

@withjusticeand LOL true....

[softwarezealot]

Great job Derek ! Screw the grammar cops hey ...LOL....damn pansies, wish people would knock it off with the spell checking crap, we are not in Miss Crabtrees English class for crying out loud !

[TerraXGaara]

I listen to this song when I am sad or angry. I get picked on all the time by the cheerleaders and the football players. It sucks to be a girl picked on for just being yourself. Thanks for posting this song. I feel like I can live again.

[RaNdOm42CoOkIe]

@TerraXGaara dont let em ge you down. because while they und up being drug addicts and strippers, you'll be rich and kick ass.

[TerraXGaara]

@RaNdOm42CoOkIe Thank you.

[iloveme11100]

19 people suck!

[KitaWeda]

Like if you have facebook on another tab.

[GrandTheftFunnyy]

@KitaWeda I listen to trhis while bhopin in css xD

[KitaWeda]

@GrandTheftFunnyy lmao nice XD

[3Oh3metrostation]

@KitaWeda holy crap howd yu know tht!!?i just got off....so creeepyy

[KitaWeda]

@3Oh3metrostation Idk. Most of the time, people have facebook in another tab while on youtube. xD

[MusicForU99]

@KitaWeda Nobody really gives a damn

[TWIZDED177]

@KitaWeda Its ironic right?

[jackumonkey]

how come everytime i really like a song there's comments saying it's christian rock? god damn ;]

[RAWphenom]

@jackumonkey Because it is. That's God telling you to give him a chance.

[CorruptForLife]

hey u guys know your bashing religion in the comment section of a christian rock song right? so do either

1. give god a chance and stop hating (i hope u pick this one u wont regret it)

2. go hate somewhere else. this is, like i said a christian rock song. im sure switchfoot didnt write this song so we can call each other retards. they wrote it to spread the love of god. so if u dont wont it i wont shove it down your throat so dont shove your hate down ours. peace.

[xx117rulezxx]

@CorruptForLife Actually youre wrong this isnt to spread the love of god. This is just a band that wants to tell us that we have to think more clearly and do the mral thing. So learn what things are about before you start labelling them. Thank you very much ^.^
