Rock the Boat - Switchfoot: Gone

Switchfoot at the Rock the Boat Concert for the Evan Almighty premiere (June 11th)

Lyrics:
== ================================ ==
She told him she'd rather fix her make-up
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cell phone gone

She told him she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upside-down

Don't say so-long, you're not that far gone
Don't spend today away
'Cause today will soon be

Gone
Like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
Just try and prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
One step closer to the edge
Infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
If you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal

Don't say so-long, and throw yourself wrong
This could be your big chance to make-up
Today will soon be

Gone
Like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going, gone
Like summer break is gone
Like Saturday is gone
Just try and prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
And we pretend like we're immortal
We are so confident in our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone
Like Frank Sinatra
Like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
My high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long

Life is more than money
Time was never money
Time was never cash
Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred-dollar bills and roto-tom fills
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age
But do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages?

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us close to a God who's never short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living.
Life is still worth living.

I admire Jon so much, the way he wears his faith on his sleeve.

Switchfoot is love. End of story.

[atreyurockmysocks]

wow

._>

that.

was.

awesome.

[cschultink]

you need to realise that the guy has probably been singinghis heart out all night, and is very liely absolutely stuffed so its very difficult for him to sing the song exactly the same as the original. thats why he talks some of it and misses bits and pieces.

[JulyForToday]

Actually I prefer differences, makes live shows far more interesting that way.

[KanzlerM]

Seems like it's not in the same key as on the album version.

[donycleto]

it's actually, "all the riches of the kings, they end up in wills"
