Switchfoot - ⁠lost 'cause lyrics

I took the midnight path in the aftermath
Tearing out the sutures is a new way back
To a broken past just a broken future

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found

Are we a lost cause?
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?
And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your loss 'cause
You won't see me as I am, not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Do you remember us on a late night bus
Taking everything for granted?
You said it's scary with the lights on
That my love songs are fight songs
But my punches never landed

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found
The world we found

Are we a lost cause?
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?
And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your loss 'cause
You won't see me as I am, not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Are we a lost cause?
Or are we just lost 'cause
We never see the future we refuse to be?
And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your loss 'cause
You won't see me as I am, the possibility
That I'm not the enemy

I'll be your lost cause
