Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.
Jon Foreman

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.

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.

Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.

Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman

If you truly love someone, you're going to be pure because true love comes from God, and God tells us to remain pure. That's good enough for me.

Music is admitted under the skin without permission.

I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.
Jon Foreman

Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.

Image
Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.

It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.

For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.
