Not For This World Lyrics
I woke up to a dream passing by
It was the middle of the night
Was I awake? Was I asleep? What was I doing outside?
I saw a man walk from the trees
He came and sat next to me
And he said: "Boy, if you don't follow your dreams
You'll be dead someday, just like me"
Then he got up and walked away and I started to think
He turned around, I saw his face and I looked deep in his eyes
And I realized that man was me
You're not for this world, this world is for you
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day while you're alive
(Stand for something!)
I contemplate my every day
And everything I've been afraid to change
Never good enough, promptly too late?
Always excuses away
I used to think if I never tried I would never fail
Now I realise, I can do anything
You're not for this world, this world is for you
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day while you're alive
(Stand for something!)
Too little too late
And then you die and no one even knows your name
Don't let your light fight from your heart
Your heart gives you the best advice
Believe!
Believe!
You're not for this world, this world is for you
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day while you're alive
(Stand for something!)
For what you believe
For what you believe
It was the middle of the night
Was I awake? Was I asleep? What was I doing outside?
I saw a man walk from the trees
He came and sat next to me
And he said: "Boy, if you don't follow your dreams
You'll be dead someday, just like me"
Then he got up and walked away and I started to think
He turned around, I saw his face and I looked deep in his eyes
And I realized that man was me
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day while you're alive
(Stand for something!)
And everything I've been afraid to change
Never good enough, promptly too late?
Always excuses away
I used to think if I never tried I would never fail
Now I realise, I can do anything
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day while you're alive
(Stand for something!)
And then you die and no one even knows your name
Don't let your light fight from your heart
Your heart gives you the best advice
Believe!
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day while you're alive
(Stand for something!)
For what you believe

wow, this song is my favorite from the album
I love this song i listen every day at school
It's a song about the realization that the world is there for you to enjoy and live in. It's a take-the-bull-by-the-horns thing. It's told through a story based on personal experience, what we have gone through and what we've done that makes us who we are.
Lyric Correction: now istead of "Belive" it is "Bowling." I think it sounds more like bowling.
okay so in this song, he is expressing his love for bowling. He Wakes up having the exreame urge to go bowling. But there is no one to play with, so he decides to make an alter ego of himself to play bowling with. The bowling alley is called "Not for this world," hence the name of the song. In the chorus, he's saying how he can beat anyone in a game of bowling, and that you need to bowl every day for the growth of your liver. But after a serious belly button injury, he is unable to bowl again. So he thinks. He uses the belly button injury as an excuse to not play, so he sits at home getting really fat. In the bridge, he's saying that life sucks, and then you die... Unless you bowl. And that if your heart could talk, it would tell you that you should go bowling. Then, he sais bowling twice, (no need for explanation.) the end.
So you think it's "For what you bowling"? :S
So you think it's "For what you bowling"? :S
