I just love this song and have been listening to it more and more lately.
on fire by switchfoot (beautiful letdown)
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
Tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
Theres 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.. Yeah
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You) Ah-yeah
What 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 (fire)
When You're near me
I'm on fire (fire)
When You speak
And I'm on fire (fire)
Burning at these mysteries
these mysteries...
Mysteries... Mysteries...
(Your on fire, [x3]) I'm standing on the edge of me [x4]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
and I've been standing on the edge of me,
I'm 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(2x),
yeah your mystery, your mystery
Behind the Song:
"Daniel Heavenward, a friend of mine from Canada, came out to California and stayed at my place for a day. We went out for pizza, wrote a couple Remy Zero-ish songs, and called it a night. In the morning, about an hour before I was going to drop him off at the train station, this song flew out. We threw it down, I burned a CD for Dan and we raced to the station. This song is so personal- it feels great to play live. On a good night, I feel like I can just throw myself into this song and drift off over the crowd through the PA." - Jon Foreman (Switchfoot)
I'll post about my weekend some other time
