Meant To Live

An awesome song from the amazing band switchfoot
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Mississippi Appendectomy

She went into the doctor for a cold and came out with a Mississippi appendectomy.
