Something that's so amazing about Switchfoot is that you can feel in your soul what they're talking about, even without knowing the exact lyrics. With this song I think people get the meaning, but they go by what they feel and what's going on in their lives , rather than what's actually in the lyrics.
I think these lyrics start in the begining by telling a story.
"She told him she'd rather fix her make-up Than try to fix what's going on"
That Character "She" is referring to everyone- the human race! The way we act and center things in our lives-unimportant things. Whether it's your make-up, or video games, or money, or any material things, these lyrics talk about them all!
And Switchfoot is telling us that we have to put all those things beside us, because those things aren't going to be around forever. Our souls are going to be around forever, but if we put those things first than they won't.
"Where's your treasure, where's your hope
If you get the world and lose your soul? "
We really can lose it. And that's what's incredible about Switchfoot. Their songs and their lyrics save us.
