The Beautiful Letdown
switchfoot

It was a beautiful letdown
when i crashed and burned
when i found myself alone, unknown and hurt

It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do

In a world full of bitter pain
and bitter down
I was trying so hard to fit in
until i found out

I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I will carry a cross and a song
where i don't belong

It was a beautiful letdown
When you found me here
And for once in a rare blue moon
I see everything clear

I'll be a beautiful letdown
That's what i'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free

We're still chasing our tails
And the rising sun
And our dark water plaent
still spins in a race
where no one wins
and no one's one. (won?)

I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I'm gonna set sight
and set sail for the kingdom come.
Your kingdom come
Won't let me down!
Let my foolish pride forever let me down

Easy living you're not much like your name
Easy dying you look just about the same
Would you please take me off your list?
Easy living, PLease come on and let me down.

What a beautiful letdown
painfully uncool
The Church of the drop outs, the losers
the sinners, the failures, and the fools
What a beautiful letdown are we salt in the would?
Let us sing one true tune.
