Switchfoot is one of those bands that has grown with me.

I was thinking recently about how on point their music has been for each of the stages of my life. I started listening to them in my phase of youthful idealism when songs like “Meant to Live” and “Dare You to Move” fueled my fire to change the world. And they’ve walked me through my life stages, matching each one along the way and landing today with the contemplative depth of their lyrics while still laced with a bit of that lingering hope of idealistic youth.

To match their home-hitting lyrics, their acoustics combine a rock exterior with a gentle rocking that lies under the surface of almost all of their songs. I remember reading somewhere (and I apologize for the lack of attribution, I can’t recall where) Jon Foreman said that when he writes his music he’s often inspired by the movement and pulsing of the ocean. This is definitely evident.

Anyway! Here are a list of all the lyrics to their songs, also links to buy each album on Amazon if you so wish 🙂
