Something More (Augustine's Confession) By Switchfoot

I've been really complacent lately. Not really following Jesus, reading the Word, or having passion about anything that I know I should be longing and striving for. So, I decided to play switchfoot the other day, and this song resonated within me. It's St. Augustine's Confession, but I want it to be my confession:
Augustine just woke up with a broken heart
All this time he's never been awake before
At 31 his whole world is a question mark
All this time he's never been awake before
Watching dreams that he once had feed the flame inside his head
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness He says:
Chorus: "Theres gotta be something more
Than what I'm living for. I'm crying out to you" (2x)
Augustine, All his fears keeping falling out
All this time he's never been awake before
Finding out his old dreams aren't panning out
All this time he's never been awake before
But he's mad to be alive and he's dying to be met
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness He says:
Chorus
Something more
Hey, I give it all away
Nothing I was holding back remains
Hey, I give it all away
Looking for the grace of God today
