Life is a battlefield. I don't have enough time on the planet to play games.

You wake up, you wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live.

I think despair and cynicism are two different things. On the flip side of hope is despair. Belief and doubt are the same thing, in that to believe something you have to actively doubt the opposite. And from my perspective, that's the deep end. You're dealing with the unknown you're dealing with mystery.

When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain.

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.

I've never really had a desk job, but I've died one day at a time all over the place.

Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own.
Jon Foreman

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

I'm always thinking about songs, I'm thinking of life maybe a little bit more lyrically than a computer programmer or someone like that.

I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.
