Just The Other Day

2002, fresh off Bus 4
Break out the chalk, draw the baseline
Pick up the bat, hit a home run
Onto their deck, a climbin' we go
It feels like just the other day
Under the sea, you're getting close
Ready to fight, why you shakin'?
Don't look at me, it's a video game
But I'd fight for you, 'cuz you'd fight for me
It feels like just the other day
It feels like just the other day
That we were going out to play
It feels like just the other day
That we were far too young to say
That it feels like just the other day

Sparks

I heard you comin' in your first car
Honkin' that clown horn, what fools we are
You greeted me by quoting scenes
from movies I had never seen
Drive away, drive with me by your side today
These years are the sparks of our lives
Building blocks for what we could be
These years are the sparks of our lives
And I'm glad you're here with me
Drivin' to my first Switchfoot show
Forgetting the latest girlfriend woes
Later we'll meet up with your bandmates
We'll jam on guitar since you taught me to play
Sing out loud, sing with me by your side today
These years are the sparks of our lives
Building blocks for what we could be
These years are the sparks of our lives
And I'm glad you're here with me

As Life Gets Real

As we grow up, life pulls us around
The work piles up, it feels like we're bound
But no matter what, you make time for me
Time like today, driving feeling free
As life gets real, it's you and I behind the wheel
There's no routine, as we figure out the in-between
And we try, to live for more than getting by
We're talking things out, working on our lives
A new story sprouts, but a phone call arrives
Your dog's eating your clothes, back home you go
That's life I suppose, going with the flow
As life gets real, it's you and I behind the wheel
There's no routine, as we figure out the in-between
And we try, to live for more than getting by
The sun is out, the windows down
The music's up, and we're singin' loud
As life gets real, it's you and I behind the wheel
There's no routine, as we figure out the in-between
And we try, to live for more than getting by
to live for more than getting by
to live for more than getting by

It's May 31st, I'll meet you in Philly to play in a rock show
We're both 24 and still a little silly, but oh my how we've grown
It's June 1st, you call me on my cell phone to see if I'll play open mic
Despite last night when we played for 5 people you wanna play even more
When we hang up the phone, I think about how lately
It's all been coming together for you, for you
It's June 2nd, 6 AM. I wake up with 10 missed calls
I know I'm about to hear how my whole world has changed
I never expected to wake up and hear that you were gone
I can't believe that, I can't believe that, I can't believe that you're gone
I can't believe that, I can't believe that, I can't believe that you're gone
I can't believe that you're gone
You're gone.

We Came Together

What do you do when your whole world's changed?
When nothing looks or feels the same?
Without you is all hope feigned?
What can we do to change our minds' frame?
It seems like the whole world stopped for you
Sending their love to outweigh the gray
The people I needed to get through
You'd brought together along the way
A hug from my mother and from yours too
Our hero wrote my first tattoo
I hope you heard when he sang for you
The love for you couldn't be more true
We came together to survive
We came together to try to get by
Together we keep your stories alive
In our hearts you will reside
We came together to survive
We came together to try to get by
Together we keep your stories alive
In our hearts you will reside
Reside
In our hearts you will reside
In our hearts forever long.

You'll Always Be

Of all the stories we wrote
Some we'll continue to quote
But even the ones I've forgot
Inside me they'll always be brought
Although you can't write anymore
Your love writes my life's movie score
And as I live out my days
You'll help me to pick out my gaze
We've only got so many days here on the earth
To live a life that's full despite all the hate
There's a lesson you taught in the way that you lived
We've gotta spend our days lovin' embrace all our pain
Some days it's harder to breathe
And some days it's hard not to scream
These days are part of us too
Let's do more than just get on through
We've only got so many days here on the earth
To live a life that's full despite all the hate
There's a lesson you taught in the way that you lived
We've gotta spend our days lovin' embrace all our pain
I'll always want more time to do what we dreamt
To be your best man or to travel the world
We've only got so many days here on the earth
To live a life that's full despite all the hate
There's a lesson you taught in the way that you lived
We've gotta spend our days lovin' embrace all our pain
And I will continue to tell
The stories that we knew so well
One thing that's true in the end
You'll always be my best friend
