like summer break is gone...

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the 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 yourself wrong
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 makeup
Today will soon be

Gone, like yeterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
Your going going gone
Like summer break is gone
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is 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
And roto-tom fills
Life's more than fame and rock and 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


Summer break is gone. School has started up again and it's going strong. Most of the other activities are starting up in the next week. My schedule's back to normal. Kinda busy. This summer was great though. Africa, Student Life, Mexico, Mission week. Wow. Plus all the extra parties and movies and I've got myself a summer. I think it was the best one yet. But it's over now. That's just a reminder to live life to the full. Don't cheat yourself. And I quote another Switchfoot song "Don't close your eyes. this is your life, are you who you want to be?" I'm gonna try that this fall. Usually the first few weeks of school just fly by and you don't remember anything special about them. I'm gonna make them a blast. I don't know how yet, but there's gonna be somthing special about them. I've got so many great memories and lessons learned from this summer. I hope I never ever ever forget anything about this summer. I hope the same for all of you reading this too. Anyways, thanks for all of you who were here this summer, you're the ones who made this summer amazing. Love you!
