This is the first track from the debut album of Switchfoot entitled, The Legend of Chin released in 1997. The bomb that Jon Foreman has been waiting for is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
[Verse 1]
With blankness staring back at me
Screaming from the pages
I feel the fear of apathy
Gripping me, pushing me
On top of everything
In the corner with a view
I turn off the fluorescent tubes
[Chorus]
This is the bomb that I've been waiting for
Living for
You finally lit the fuse that's in my head
Yes, You finally lit the fuse
That's in my head
[Verse 2]
With nothingness on top of me
And bleeding from my folder
Only you can stop the emptiness
Don't let it take me over
I've been sinking down
Further into nothing
I've been waiting long
Longer than for some things
[Chorus]
This is the bomb that I've been waiting for
Living for
You finally lit the fuse that's in my head
Yes, You finally lit the fuse
That's in my head
Yeah, and You finally lit the fuse
That's in my head
Yes, You've finally lit the fuse
That's in my head
Bomb was written by Jon Foreman.
