This song has been stuck in my head for a couple days. It goes with what I posted in my last entry about living for the temporary. And I've decided this is pretty much the coolest song ever. :) It's fun to listen to and I like the way he says things.

Gone
Switchfoot

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what's goin' on
But the problem keeps on calling, even with her cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living' now
But her world keeps spinning backwards, and upside-down

Don't say so long
And throw your cell phone
Don't spin today away
'Cause today will soon be...

Gone!
Like yesterday is
Gone! Like history is
Gone! Just try to 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
You're not that far gone
This could be your big chance to make up
'Cause today will soon be...

Gone! Like yesterday is
Gone! Like history is
Gone! The world keeps spinnin' on
You're going, going gone
Like summer break is gone
Like Saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal
(You're immortal)
You're immortal

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing's immediate

We're 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
Or roto-tom fills
Life's more than rock 'n' roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills

We 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 closer to the God who's not short of cash

Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living
Life is still worth living...
