Lyrics:
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid 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

This came out in 2003 but it is pure distilled 90s.
Wow, this song popped in my head for no....damn.....reason, and while trying to find the name and artist of the song, I was actually thinking it was in the 90’s.
@GordonSmash1973 Same!!
@quachemo187 vintage 03??? lmao thats only 17 years ago
@quachemo187 Vintage 1983 maybe
this is soooo 2003. Def not a "distilled" sound of the 90's.
joji is such a cool sk8r boy
I never really cared about this song growing up.. I remember it coming out my senior year in high school and just thinking meh. It's aiiiiiight. Here I am 12 years later finding so much more meaning to this song and it's lyrics than I ever thought possible. Funny how things come full circle.
ThatKidBryan I feel u... God wants more for us
wtf is meh ?
@Angry Trucker No I generally speak English not Pig Latin ! LOL and I graduated before you were born
If only more people would wake up to it's message.
There is so much more to life then you could imagined
This song will always transcend time.
So true this will never die
"We want more than the wars of our fathers." Is definitely my favorite line in this song. I feel that it is widely applicable to the world today
It's been applicable to humans probably for our entire history, war has always existed and continues to be a tragedy and even though 99% of us all agree, it's inescapable.
@@xravenx24fe it's not inescapable it's just accepted as a norm.
@@sirgoosehonk2716 It is unescapable. Good luck trying to escape war in some way or another never happening again.
War is a racket. Gr8 book!
I remember being so excited to go out and buy this CD back in 2004 when I heard this song and I was not disappointed, their music is great. This song takes me back to a time in my life when things were a lot more simple.
This song brings me back to the late 2000's in early high school. Time flies, but this just resonates with a sound that sounds like that era :)
JOJI ? :D
Yes omg
Lol yeah
I love listening to the start while wearing earbuds.
2002-2003 94.5 PST Is A Radio Station We Grew Up On With That Bee Station In The 90s.. This One Particular Song Took My Brain Back In A Warp I Can’t Stop.. My Mom Smiling & Laughing With Me, My First Mongoose Bike, My First PlayStation One, Being In 2nd Going To 3rd Grade, Eating Green Eggs & Ham, My Brothers 90 SkateBoard With Back Brakes On It, The Yo-Yo Contest.. Living A Fun Life. I Woke Up And This Song Came To Me.. Im 27 Going On 28, Song Came Out When I Was Like 6-7.. Thankyou God For Letting Me Cry These Memories Out.. This Song Really Hit Home, & Hard! REST IN PEACE MOM, ROCK ON! Straight Out Of Trenton, New Jersey! 💯💯💯
One of Switchfoot's best! Still impacting after all these years!
2020. Who's listening
“Fumbling his confidence and wondering why the world has passed hum by...”
Real life, real shit
Mhm
This song will never get old.
Still listening to this song in 2017. It's still and forever inspirational.
Something about it just gives u a certain feelin like. Everything's just going to be ok.
Dereck Dintz yes
I think the idea of this band is that it will be OK...with Jesus
Oh, I'm sorry. I made that statement sounding like I feel that way. I was being facetious but Switchfoot is very much a Christian band.
Vernon Leon fuck off. It's music. No one gives a flying fuck about god
King Stowe you will be judged one day and will regret those words.
I have this on repeat, and i still get goosebumps every time i hear it. 10/10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this song has gotten me through a lot of mental battles who else can agree
My boy use to sing this song about 15 years ago when we was in the streets a running amuck ( it's was always odd because we was some young gangsters but deep inside we knew something wasn't right about this life) now fast forward 15 years later these words fly out my mouth " we was suppose to live for so much more but we lost ourselves " as I sit and realize we have a made a mess of our lives by making all the wrong decisions . Thank you Lord for redeeming and restoring what we destroy3d !
Damn never thought I would find this song again
Same dude I've been looking for this song for over 10 years lol
I love this song because it says wake up, open your eyes, there is more to this than the physical world. I always thought this when I was young... now it's being revealed to me the more I go with in.
A few days ago I had a dream that took place when I was about 13 at the home I grew up in and I was looking at a box of my brother's Pokemon cards thinking "I wish I could go back and live my life from this point again, there's so much I would do differently". Right then this song started playing except in the dream it sounded like it said "I was meant to live for so much more".
Had to search those lyrics to finally find out this is the song. Was surprised to see that this song was released in 2003, right around the year it was in my dream.
never thought this song would mean anything till i got older
I've been looking for this for years and YEARS. Thank you 😊
2020 and this song is making me cry for a time gone by. Some moment in time, in the song, in my dad's can, reading a d!#& beautiful book from the library. I read that book over and over and this song played. And now here we are and, f@$#, I miss those times.
every time I hear this song all I can think of is me probably around six years old waving my hands in the air jamming out as my dad blares this song down the road, good times
There two realities at war right now but only one will prevail! The kingdom will be given to its righteous King!
Love this song since I was in High school back in 2006. Now I still listen to it, 2019
this song reminds me of a different time
Listening in 2019.
Still one of the bests songs. It might not, but I hope this lives forever.
Not alone
This song has always spoken to me when I feel like I have possibly lost my way with God and my faith isn't what it used to be I will always believe but faith without works is dead
Here in 2018
I'll do ya 1 better.
2019

Listening in 2019. Yay for time travel!
Lol. Now it's 2019
At first when I first heard this song i only thought of it as that a song but now im in high school 2nd year and I already know what i want in life. Wow time really does pass us by.
Wow you're a sophomore in high school, you must really understand life.
+EmergingLobster maybe they do, maybe it'll change maybe it wont
+SmiLey P It'll change when he realized he doesn't know shit about life, he's just a fuckin kid
+EmergingLobster just because YOU have no direction doesn't mean everyone else is like you. Some people were meant to live for more, some.
we were meant to live for someone who can help me out with the other side of things that are not in my opinion and does not accept responsibility for the use of the other hand if I can get it is not a big deal but it will be a bit of time in the morning to see you then I will have a great time and I am not able to make sure that you are doing well in your life and death of my life with you on this forum
I love this song! The lyrics are amazing! And the guitar!!
Got me through deployment in Afghanistan
I know this might be year late but thank you for serving our country! 🙏
@@tyronehaworth8716 Thanks man...It’s an honor
Holy shit, isn't this a classic, funny this ended up in my recommended. I forgot I used to listen to this when I was a kid lmao
I heard this song on the radio months ago and the opening music has been stuck in my head for literally months! Ive been trying to find it ever since and today i heard it on the radio and started typing some of the lyrics into google and i finally found it! Soo happy
Here in quarantine
Just heard this on pandora after like 6 years and had to come here
Growing up this was my favorite song
Obviously still is
This song has been stuck in my head for months and I am so happy I finally found it.😁
Still listening in 2018 😍😍 anyone else?
Doing you 1 better
this song hits harder as an adult
listening to in 2018, who else, but this song has such great meaning and motivation to do better and be better.
this song just reminds me of like looking back and then jumping to the future we were meant to live for so much more but we lost ourselves it's like saying we were meant to live for are dreams but we lost our dreams and aspirations and took working for some dick head boss
or, just setting in general. or, f****n drugs and all the rest pop culture tells you that's cool
Jeffrey Reardon lol depends on what drugs. I love how you censored fuck...lol
Cheers
Broooo..this gave me chills..your so right.. >~
This comment is underrated and true.
Never cared much for this song growing up until i grew up and started realizing the actual meaning of it, the meaning is so true.
It's sad that all of the actually good people out there, either smart or artistic, just get passed by. Then criminals get the fame.. for doing bad things.
Then they kinda let themselves go. They go to a job that pays. They lose themselves. They lose their dreams.
That's what I think the song means.
Listening in 2018 like a boss
Not to be that person but it is now 2020 and here I am coming back to this song, I'm sure anyone that sees this can relate
Welp looks like when I go home, I'm playing this song in the guitar!

To me, this song speaks a story Of how we are destined to Become connected to our Inner selves and seek ultimate satisfaction through a relationship with God, yet we seemingly Strive for the the temporary pleasures of the "American Dream" and fall short of true Happiness, hence the verses "We were meant to live for so much more".
This song randomly popped into my head. I don’t mind though.
This song is awesome
Heading back in time BRB
this is such a great song 👍👍👍
Always blast this when it comes on the radio
This song is awesome.
Luv this

Meaningful messages
best song
never thought this was by switchfoot.. 😆 good job!
Wow, been listening to this for a while...just realized it was uploaded from Myspace. Everything from this video is so far in the past :D
Whether or not mice or men have second tries..
If a man has his house destroyed before winter, he would give up, but a mouse who has a destroyed home..
The mouse would keep going to survive. That lyric is pretty deep in meaning.
We were more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
Take a minute to take that in
