4:12 Lyrics - Switchfoot
Review The Song (5)
You've been having trouble staying asleep
You been waking up at 4:12
You roll the voices over in your head
Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf
You watch the sun rise
You saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn
With your own eyes
And then you broke out laughing from a yawn
You said,
"I'm so sorry I've been so down.
I started doubting things could ever turn around.
And I began to believe that all we are is material.
It's nonsensical."
So you walk outside and everything's new
You're looking at the world with new eyes.
As if you'd never seen a sky before that's blue
As if you've never seen the sky in your whole life
And then the phone rings
As it turns out you are already late
And now you're wondering
Was peace just a temporary state?
You're waiting tables and parking cars
You've been selling cell phones at the shopping mall
And you began to believe that all you are is material
It's nonsensical
I still can't believe that all we are
And that all of are dreams are nothing more than material
Souls aren't built of stone,
Sticks and bones
And souls aren't built of stone
You been waking up at 4:12
You roll the voices over in your head
Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf
You watch the sun rise
You saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn
With your own eyes
And then you broke out laughing from a yawn
You said,
"I'm so sorry I've been so down.
I started doubting things could ever turn around.
And I began to believe that all we are is material.
It's nonsensical."
So you walk outside and everything's new
You're looking at the world with new eyes.
As if you'd never seen a sky before that's blue
As if you've never seen the sky in your whole life
And then the phone rings
As it turns out you are already late
And now you're wondering
Was peace just a temporary state?
You're waiting tables and parking cars
You've been selling cell phones at the shopping mall
And you began to believe that all you are is material
It's nonsensical
I still can't believe that all we are
And that all of are dreams are nothing more than material
Souls aren't built of stone,
Sticks and bones
And souls aren't built of stone

When i first listend to oh! Gravity the first couple times i didn't realy notice it, then while looking through the songs i saw the title and was intiged, listend to it and is no my ABSOLUTE FAVORIT. It is sutch an intricate and fun song, i love to just listen, both the music and the lyrics make it the best.
Definitely the best. | Reviewer: Michael | 7/8/08
I daresay, this song is better than any of their top singles, and it is the most remarkable song of Oh! Gravity. The lyrics emphasize the transcendental nature of man, putting the mundane aside. This, despite being the means by which we experience the world, are also the things that distract us the most from it.
Best Song on 'Oh! Gravity' | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/5/07
'4:12' is the best song on 'Oh! Gravity'. It takes a few listens to really get it but it's very catchy, and never gets annoying. Go Switchfoot!
