Amateur Lovers Lyrics


Everyone I know
Needs love like drugs
Like a common cold
We could never shrug
My baby and me
We’re missing the same stuff
We’ve all got a disease
Deficiency of love
Every day we still try
Every night we still cry
We're driving home on the 805
We don’t know what we’re doing
We do it again
We’re just amateur lovers
With amateur friends
I can tell you what you’re thinking now
Before you think it, you can settle down
We don’t know what we’re doing

Let’s do it again, let’s do it again
You tried to play it down
But it never stuck
I tried to build this town
I’m getting no such luck
When nobody’s around
I keep my eyes on the clock
There ain’t a cure I’ve found
In all my times around this block
Every day we still try
Every night we still cry
We're driving home on the 405
We don’t know what we’re doing
We do it again
We’re just amateur lovers
With amateur friends
I can tell you what you’re thinking now
Before you think it, you can settle down
We don’t know what we’re doing
Let’s do it again, let's do it again
Let's do it again
We don’t know what we’re doing
Let’s do it again
You know, we’re just amateur lovers
With amateur friends
I can tell you what you’re thinking now
Before you think it, you can settle down
Our loving isn’t gonna burn us up
We don’t know what we’re doing
Let’s do it again, let's do it again
Let's do it again, let's do it again
Professional
Professional
Professional

Switchfoot is a grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).

Although the band started out playing at Christian music festivals, they shun the label of "Christian rock," with singer and guitarist Jon Foreman saying, "For us, it's a faith, not a genre. We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from. For us, these songs are for everyone. Calling us `Christian rock' tends to be a box that closes some people out and excludes them. And that's not what we're trying to do. Music has always opened my mind -- and that's what we want." They started out on Charlie Peacock's label "re:think" and spent several years appearing at Christian festivals and enjoying Christian radio hits. Most of their early tours were with Christian bands and both of the band's new members were borrowed from Christian bands.

Switchfoot did not see success outside of the Christian rock scene until they were featured alongside singer Mandy Moore on the A Walk To Remember Soundtrack. The band's first true commercial success came in 2003 with the release of their fourth major label (and first mainstream label) offering, The Beautiful Letdown. The album went on to sell more than 2 million albums and Switchfoot became the most popular rock band to be associated with Christian music.

They were featured on the British Edition of the Spiderman II soundtrack along with the likes of Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional to name a few, in 2004 with the song 'Meant To Live'.

In 2005 Switchfoot released "Nothing Is Sound". The album went gold within 3 months and received much critical acclaim.

Switchfoot's highly anticipated album, titled "Oh! Gravity." was released on December 26th, 2006.

On November 10th, 2009, Switchfoot released their first album produced under their own label, lowercase people. "Mess of Me", a single from the album released months before the CD, has enjoy chart-topping radio plays since its release.

In 2010 Switchfoot released their album, "Hello Hurricane".

On September 27th, 2011, to much anticipation and excitement, Switchfoot released their newest album, "Vice Verses".
