More Than Breathing

This was my attempt at a creative, Switchfoot-esque song. I wrote it over 2 years ago...enjoy!

Verse 1
Endless garbage in cardboard houses,
We have everything,
But we've missed something,
And we think we can live without it.

Chorus
Somewhere along the road
Between innocence and heartbreak,
We've lost everything we've known,
And I'm learning it can't be replaced.
We try to substitute
Anything in place of what we're missing,
But I think the truth
Is (that) we've forgotten (that):
Living's more than breathing.

Verse 2
Ravaged souls under plastic faces,
We can be anything/one,
But we've become nothing/one.
In our aspiration for perfection,
We've misplaced who we are.

Bridge
When is nothing enough?
Why do we look for life
In our own backyards?
Why do we believe (that) our purpose is
No bigger than we are?
Why do we value cash more than the innocence of a child, the beauty of the stars?
Maybe life is more than we can see (breathing),
Maybe we were meant to be more than we are.
