Don't Be There - Switchfoot

[ThePasserineBird]

This is an amazing song. I think I'll try and cover it :)

[cindyrella83]

You don't want him in your life because of the pain he caused, but at the same time, you love him.

[cindyrella83]

Even though the singer has been hurt by this person, (as shown by the title and repetition of the phrase, "Don't be there,") the truth is that the singer really does want this person in their life, despite everything, and even if they're been put through a lot because of him/her. You don't want this person in your life because of the pain he/she caused, but at the same time, you love him/her.

[eggroast]

ok, yeah again this song is sooooo underrated, its awesome! prolly one of my favorite switchfoot songs, and ive heard em all, specialy once you read the lyrics, sooo meaningful, seems to me like a desperation call to God sayin somethin to the effect of "Hey, if you are up there, then could you help? cause im doubtin right now:(" and of course, they are christians, i could just listen to this song a million times over

[eggroast]

Switchfoot music is so good because it actually moves you. Songs like this make me almost cry because they're so deep and emotional.
