Switchfoot - The Original Lyrics






Got your hands in your pockets
Like you're ready to pay
Got your eyes out of socket
Like you're a mile away
Mouth shut like a locket
Like you've nothing to say

Speak your mind up
Come on baby free yourself

Free yourself
Ain't no one to do it
Free yourself
Ain't nothing to it
Free yourself
Don't let nobody try and take your soul
You're the original

So you say you're just a lost soul
I know you better than that
So you say you're just lost in the wash
I know you better than that
So you say you're just a face in city race
Wasted and sick of it all

Speak your mind up
Come on baby free yourself

Free yourself
Ain't no one to do it
Free yourself
Ain't nothing to it
Free yourself
Don't let nobody try and take your soul
You're the original

    What happened to switchfoot tv?

  40. j.... b....

    Great Video even if its unconventional Jesus is Lord Switchfoot rocks But Jesus is the Best Rock!

  41. n.... g....

    Lol this video was weird...I LOVE WEIRD !!! :D <3 Go Switchfoot !!!!

  42. J.... Z....

    The real story is, I live one mile from where Switchfoot lives. A homeless man that had lived in my storage shed recovers 100 percent. I never saw this video - They in their eye had seen this person. He looks just like this guy and lived just like him. I left him with penny. St. Peter said "make fishers of men". He fully recovered. Only the Lord could have done it. He spent four months in my home - I put him back on the street. On his own he did it! Today, he is married and a great person.

  43. Z.... C....

    si lo son

  44. t.... ....

    So, you're saying Jon Foreman is going to be a homeless guy in 50 years...?

  45. J.... M....

    Awkward Moment #1 - 0:24 sec - 0:35 sec Mr Camper No Pants
    Awkward Moment #2 - :41 sec - 0:52 sec I thought the dude was an ugly woman...
    Awkward Moment #3 - 1:14 sec Hair fling
    Awkward Moment #4 - 1:18 sec - 1:20 sec Chest Rub

    Switchfoot you guys rock but the first 80 seconds of this video was just creepy weird.

  46. j.... D....

    kkkk, muito legal!!

  47. D.... ....

    I love how you all are bashing the bands video "quality" but honestly you're missin the point. Instead of looking at that look at the message. Because they're videos are different it makes them well original. As a musician I respect them as a great band and one who knows how to be unique. Unique sells not clichés.

  48. D.... H....

    minus the tattoos bro

  49. t.... ....

    loving the gum leaves

  50. s.... b....

    i love this

  51. A.... W....

    Who comes up with the ideas for these videos? That was just bizarre.

  52. P.... ....

    this has got to be the weirdest switchfoot music video ever..... still love switchfoot though =)

  53. L.... H....

    um.....k.

  54. M.... R....

    Is there anyone out there who has instrumental versions of any Switchfoot songs? I am deeply in love and I want to sing it out. God has sung unto me the Word through Switchfoot and I want to bring His Word of Love to others through karaoke but the Karaoke DJ where I go only has a couple of their songs.

  55. B.... G....

    Well that was different...

  56. T.... R....

    esta banda no es cristiana?

  57. F.... K....

    :) be sports

  58. F.... ....

    I got the point, you want their videos to be better, you won't be getting that anytime soon.

  59. c.... ....

    You miss the point. Switchfoot is far and away the best band in the world. They make perfect music. I just wish they put the same level of effort into their videos.

  60. F.... ....

    You must have some high standards then, I don't really care if it has some artistic value... I care about the song itself more.

  61. c.... ....

    Not much has impressed me with their earlier work, Technically, "Stars" is impressive but not very interesting. "Dare You To Move" - the beach version is nice for the first 30 seconds. My point is they could do so much better if they had videos equal to their music talent. As in, people who direct videos like the stuff made for Lady Gaga, Foster The People, Owl City - people who have artistic videos.

    c.... ....

    Im so glad you know what an "artistic video" is. I made this video. I hope you feel much better about yourself demeaning others work.

  62. F.... ....

    Technically they didn't make this music video, besides, have you seen their older music videos (Stars, Oh! Gravity and We are one tonight) ?

  63. Q.... S....

    Nice melody! I heard this song on radio and it's the only song that match my brainwave.

  64. J.... ....

    LOVE haha:D

  65. b.... ....

    wierd, yes, but I loved it!! lol.

  66. c.... ....

    Look, Switchfoot is far and away my favorite band in the world. I probablty would've committed suicide a long time ago if it wasn't for the inspiration Jon Foreman gives me. BUT that doesn't change the fact that Switchfoot is just incapable of making a truly entertaining music video. I really, really hate this one. It's just lacks any charm. Sorry.

  67. 3.... ....

    Ya I thought the song had a kinda foo fighterish sound to it.

  68. K.... R....

    Get to see these guys!!!!

  69. A.... C....

    I LOVE YOU SWITCHFOOT ♥

  70. L.... N....

    It can be on, and it may be off.and it has a foot, guess!

  71. g.... ....

    jajaa LOL

  72. I.... C....

    Who else thinks that the old man could be Jon Foreman in 50 years?

  73. D.... G....

    Is it just me or does this song sound REALLY similar to stacked actors by the Foo Fighters?

  74. J.... ....

    Just a normal day in California

  75. A.... R....

    This is still a weird video but i really like the song

  76. S.... F....

    Best song ever!!!! :D this is one of those songs that i never get sick of XD

  77. B.... ....

    I love music videos like these - original, hilarious and light-hearted! :D

  78. A.... R....

    This is really weird video( although the song is pretty good)

  79. D.... C....

    What did I just watch??

  80. Z.... ....

    What is with switchfoot and creepy videos?

  81. E.... L....

    really different

  82. L.... R....

    lol witi tities =)

  83. B.... K....

    This is the greatest video I've ever seen.

  84. D.... ....

    this is definantly different than most switchfoot music videos XD

  85. a.... ....

    1:09 Frank Woods, sit down.

  86. J.... V....

    yeah!!! Switchfoot...Foots Up!!!

  87. J.... ....

    Really?! I think anyone that doesn't think that is weird… lol

  88. s.... ....

    what did I just witness?

  89. E.... S....

    reminds me so much of their "Awakening" music video. its wierd and fun.

  90. i.... ....

    like everyone else said, this sure is original alright. lol Anyway, pretty cool :)

  91. S.... A....

    to be honest the video looks like drew's idea. haha

  92. C.... H....

    Awesome video! =)

  93. C.... H....

    That was perfect! =)

  94. R.... G....

    El video va de acuerdo con la letra y trata de ser original. Habla de que uno debe tratar de ser original, de no imitar a nadie, como el chico rudo que quiere de todas las maneras "robar el alma" del que está entrenando, e intenta copiarlo. La canción dice que no importa lo que pase, debes focarse en lo correcto, ser original y libertarse. Así como el que estaba entrenando, focó en lo correcto y ganó la carrera. ;)

  95. W.... ....

    Quien me explica ese vídeo?

  96. i.... ....

    Haha! Sweeeet...

  97. F.... B....

    Awesome!!!! I love your music switchfoot!

  98. E.... ....

    If you watch it with the volume down, it's weird. But if you turn the volume up ....nope, it's still weird.

  99. P.... V....

    Awesome!
