Switchfoot - 4:12 lyrics

rate me

You've been having trouble staying asleep

You been waking up at 4:12

You roll the voices over in your head

Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf

You watch the sun rise

You saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn

With your own eyes

And then you broke out laughing from a yawn

You said,

“I'm so sorry I've been so down.

I started doubting things could ever turn around.

And I began to believe that all we are is material.

It's nonsensical.”

So you walk outside and everything's new

You're looking at the world with new eyes.

As if you'd never seen a sky before that's blue

As if you've never seen the sky in your whole life

And then the phone rings

As it turns out you are already late

And now you're wondering

Was peace just a temporary state?

You're waiting tables and parking cars

You've been selling cell phones at the shopping mall

And you began to believe that all you are is material

It's nonsensical

I still can't believe that all we are

And that all of are dreams are nothing more than material

Souls aren't built of stone,

Sticks and bones

And souls aren't built of stone
