I am not sure if I have ever heard any lyrics as painfully honest as "Everything feels rusted over, tell me that you're there". This song is like a psalm.
“every blessing comes with a set of curses” Such a simple yet profound line! I have experienced this in every single aspect of my life! I will take that line to my grave! Thank you Jon Foreman for this amazing song!
Walking along the high tide line Watching the pacific from the sidelines Wonder what it means to live together? Looking for more than just guidelines Looking for signs in the night sky Wishing that I wasn't such a nice guy Wonder what it means to live forever? Wonder what it means to die? [Chorus] I know that there’s a meaning to it all: A little resurrection every time I fall You got your babies, I got my hearses Every blessing comes with a set of curses I got my vices, got my vice verses I got my vice verses [Verse 2] The wind could be my new obsession The wind could be my new depression The wind goes anywhere it wants to Wishing that I learned my lesson The ocean sounds like a garage band Coming at me like a drunk man The ocean telling me a thousand stories; None of them are lies [Chorus] I know that there’s a meaning to it all: A little resurrection every time I fall You got your babies, I got my hearses Every blessing comes with a set of curses I got my vices, got my vice verses I got my vice verses [Bridge] Let the pacific laugh Be on my epitaph With it's rising and falling and after all It's just water and I am just soul With a body of water and bone Water and bone [Verse 3] Where is God in the city life? Where is God in the city light? Where is God in the earthquake? Where is God in the genocide? Where are You in my broken heart? Everything seems to fall apart Everything feels rusted over Tell me that You're there [Chorus] I know that there’s a meaning to it all: A little resurrection every time I fall You got your babies, I got my hearses Every blessing comes with a set of curses I got my vices, got my vice verses I got my vice verses
Literally listened to this song on repeat for an hour. So much depth and humbly relatable. God bless those who hear this and relate. Favorite song of all time. GOAT. Poetic and real.
This song has helped me get through so much i dont even know where to began, I got my vice verses, the song has great meaning. it keeps me going."Life is not Fair"
All I can say is, "wow". Beautiful song. Very powerful message! Love ya, Switchfoot!! My son played at JoshuaFest with "Waltz" while you were there in early September! God bless you all!
I found this when I was still in the church and that it is meant to be a religious song but I no longer see it as a religious song. I see it as a personal resurrection of your faith in yourself and disregarding religion , it is about understanding everything will be bad and good and that it’s ok to see the vice verses
Thanks for being here, you're loved more than you could ever know. Jesus loves you unconditionally Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
I listened to these guys all my childhood and have been to 2 of their concerts. For some reason I haven’t been listening to them the past few years. I remembered to look them up and listening to this song again just tore my heart apart. Jon Foreman’s voice is so damn nostalgic to me.
One of my favorites bands, always with them. Amazing music, lyrics, everything. All of theirs songs means so much. Thank you, no word can describe how much these songs mean to me.
I know that there's a meaning to it all. A little resurrection every time I fall. You got your babies, I got my hurses. Every blessing comes with a set of curses. I got my vices. I got my vice verses.
My father was killed in a head on collision 4 years ago. The morning he died, I listened to this song on the way to his house. Every time I hear it, I go to this place.. seems like just yesterday.
You're loved more than you could ever know. Thanks for being alive. I definitely don't have all the answers, but we're here for you. You're never alone. Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isn't it ridiculous to say "Wishing I wasn't such a nice guy"? Isn't it ridiculous to take a good thing and make it something we want less of in ourselves? Isn't it ridiculous that I can relate to that sentiment in so many ways? Isn't it ridiculous?
THIS SONG IS FOR STELLA LUNA THE JAZZ SINGER . VERY POWERFUL SONG. IT TOUCHED MY SOUL SO DEEPLY. WHERE ARE YOU LORD IN MY LIFE.? WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER STELLA LUNA ? HER FATHER JOHN BUDDEN IN OTTAWA HAS ALIENATED ME FROM HER LIFE. I HAVE ZERO COMMUNICATION WITH MY ONLY CHILD STELLA LUNA WHO IS A JAZZ SINGER FOR FOUR YEARS NOW. LORD PLEASE BREAK THE SILENCE , BREAK THE CHAIN OF ALIENATION WHICH IS CHILD ABUSE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME MARIE AND MY DAUGHTER AND FOR THE CONVERSION OF MY HUSBAND JOHN BUDDEN.
After everything we do to protect ourselves there’s always that one spot that hits you........this song has so much meaning we have yet to discover.......just imagine “hearses” more than one and hearses are for funerals............basically he’s saying “you got your babies I got my hearses” DEATH=SADNESS/DEPRESSION 😔

In the middle of the night listening to Switchfoot! There's nothing better!!!
switchfoot's music is so therapeutic
Words cannot express in just a simple RUclips comment how much this song means to me:) I love this band, they saved my life.
+Sarah Emery Thank God!
I feel you, Switchfoot has gotten me through the darkest days of my life! I owe my life to them, literally!
I feeel youuuu!!!!! I couldn’t agree more!! 🥺🤍
“every blessing comes with a set of curses”
Such a simple yet profound line! I have experienced this in every single aspect of my life! I will take that line to my grave! Thank you Jon Foreman for this amazing song!
I'm not sure about that statement tbh
Why hasn't this hit 1million yet? Switchfoot is so underrated. Their songs are so poetic.
Walking along the high tide line
Watching the pacific from the sidelines
Wonder what it means to live together?
Looking for more than just guidelines
Looking for signs in the night sky
Wishing that I wasn't such a nice guy
Wonder what it means to live forever?
Wonder what it means to die?
[Chorus]
I know that there’s a meaning to it all:
A little resurrection every time I fall
You got your babies, I got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I got my vices, got my vice verses
I got my vice verses
[Verse 2]
The wind could be my new obsession
The wind could be my new depression
The wind goes anywhere it wants to
Wishing that I learned my lesson
The ocean sounds like a garage band
Coming at me like a drunk man
The ocean telling me a thousand stories;
None of them are lies
[Chorus]
I know that there’s a meaning to it all:
A little resurrection every time I fall
You got your babies, I got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I got my vices, got my vice verses
I got my vice verses
[Bridge]
Let the pacific laugh
Be on my epitaph
With it's rising and falling and after all
It's just water and I am just soul
With a body of water and bone
Water and bone
[Verse 3]
Where is God in the city life?
Where is God in the city light?
Where is God in the earthquake?
Where is God in the genocide?
Where are You in my broken heart?
Everything seems to fall apart
Everything feels rusted over
Tell me that You're there
[Chorus]
I know that there’s a meaning to it all:
A little resurrection every time I fall
You got your babies, I got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I got my vices, got my vice verses
I got my vice verses
Literally listened to this song on repeat for an hour. So much depth and humbly relatable. God bless those who hear this and relate. Favorite song of all time. GOAT. Poetic and real.
I keep coming back to this song. It speaks to me in a way that's hard to describe
I love Switchfoot so much. The only band I've memorized all albums and songs, from New Way to be Human to Fading West.
Legend of Chin?
+Qwerty Z Of course. go,go where you are,anchor your roots underneath. :)
ETC?
This song has helped me get through so much i dont even know where to began, I got my vice verses, the song has great meaning. it keeps me going."Life is not Fair"
I am here again.
Hey friend! I just wanna ask, how have you been? how has your life been compared to a year ago? Life sure is filled with absolutes and uncertainty.
I have literally never related to a song more than I do this one.
All I can say is, "wow". Beautiful song. Very powerful message! Love ya, Switchfoot!! My son played at JoshuaFest with "Waltz" while you were there in early September! God bless you all!
This song hits hard when you were already about to cry
And after all, it's just water
And I am just soul
With a body of water and bones
Water and bones
Hey, you're loved more than you could ever know.
Jesus loves you
What's left to say? The song says it all!
This needs more views like seriously!!

You got your babies, I got my hurses. Every blessing comes with a set of curses.
I got my vices. I got my vice verses.
Grant Ramm I stumbled upon your comment as soon as he sang the lyrics XD
@@christina.therandomone6860 wow
One of my favorite non-hip-hop songs of all time.
This song really hits close to home.
Love the melody of this song it flows like an ocean
My father was killed in a head on collision 4 years ago. The morning he died, I listened to this song on the way to his house. Every time I hear it, I go to this place.. seems like just yesterday.

Isn't it ridiculous that I can relate to that sentiment in so many ways?
Isn't it ridiculous?
Santos Tobar no, I can relate to it as well
I think we're like minded
idk
Only 400k views?! Get this song out there guys. It's so deep
"Where is God in the genocide?" My body is in America but my heart is in Gaza, Congo, and Sudan. 💔

🎧🎶🎶
Walking along the high tide line
Watching the Pacific from the sidelines
Wonder what it means to live together?
Looking for more than just guidelines
Looking for signs in the night sky
Wishing that I wasn't such a nice guy
Wonder what it means to live forever?
Wonder what it means to die?
I know that there's a meaning to it all
A little resurrection every time I fall
You got your babies, I got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I got my vices, got my vice verses, I got my vice verses
The wind could be my new obsession,
The wind could be my next depression
The wind goes anywhere it wants to
Wishing that I learnt my lesson
The ocean sounds like a garage band,
Coming at me like a drunk man
The ocean telling me a thousand stories,
None of them are lies
I know that there's a meaning to it all
A little resurrection every time I fall
You got your babies, I got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I got my vices, got my vice verses, I got my vice verses
Let the Pacific line,
Be on my appetite
with its' rising and falling, and after all,
It's just water and I am just soul,
with the body of water and bone, water and bone
Where is God in the city life?
Where is God in the city life?
Where is God in the earthquake?
Where is God in the Genocide?
Where are you in my broken heart?
Everything seems to fall apart.
Everything feels rusted over,
Tell me that you're there.
I know that there's a meaning to it all
A little resurrection every time I fall
You got your babies, I got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I got my vices, got my vice verses, I got my vice verses
Yeah
Yeah
I got my vice verses
Yeah
Yeah
This beginning guitar reminds me so much of another song I've heard, but I have no idea where it's from.
Lou reed - walk on the wild side? 😊
❤
💕
woo
wau Nice
I like this song but I don't think I understand it quite yet. English is my second language so it's a little confusing. Can someone please tell me what hearses mean in this song?
abigail Hearses are a type of car used to carry dead people to funerals, he's saying others have their beautiful beginnings, he has his ends.
Where is God in my broken heart?
November 8th 2023✋🏻🫀💔
chido
Me gusta :V 😄😄
Why does this song give me Arcadia Bay vibes?
Isn't it weird to be wishing I wasn't a nice person???
When you are too nice you get taken advantage of.
One tree hill .Season Nine
these guys are sissies
How are they sissies?! They give a GREAT message to people who have gone through so much pain!
Haha thank God Jeffery you are doing well and your mind in under your control. This song may not be for you :)
