Switchfoot is an alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The band was formed in 1997 with the brothers Jonathan Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortaland Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate). Although the band started out playing at Christian music festivals, they shun the label of "Christian rock," with singer and guitarist Jon Foreman saying, "For us, it's a faith, not a genre.

Burn Out Bright Lyrics

Switchfoot

Does It Have To Start With A Broken Heart
Broken Dreams And Bleeding Parts
We Were Young And World Was Clear
But Young Ambition Disappears
I Swore It Would Never Come To This
The Average, The Obvious

I'm Still Discontented Down Here
I'm Still Discontented

If We've Only Got One Try
If We've Only Got One Life
If Time Was Never On Our Side
Then Before I Die
I Want To Burn Out Bright

A Spark Ignites
In Time And Space
Limping Through This Human Race
You Bite And Claw Your Way Back Home
But You're Running The Wrong Way

The Future Is A Question Mark
Of Kerosene And Electric Sparks
There's Still Fire In You Yet
Yeah There's Still Fire In You!

I Keep Cleaning Up The Mess I've Made
I Won't Run Away
I Can't Sleep In The Bed I've Made
