V1 (Intro: Part 2)
The static comes in slow 
You can feel it grow 
Our stream of conscience flows 
Under the streets below 

V1: Interlude (Don't Palm Mute)
Whoa, whoa-o, whoa, whoa-o 

The rivers made of sound 
Still running underground 
Runs like a silent flood 
We run as thick as blood 
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/switchfoot/193672.html ]

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Down!  Can you hear me? 
This is the sound of the desperation bound 
By our own collision 
We are the voice of breaking down 

Interlude: Same as Intro: Part 2 (Don't Palm Mute)

V2 (Same as V1)
The static comes alive 
Beneath the broken skies 
John Perkins said it right 
Love is the final fight 

Pre-Chorus 2
Let it rise above 
Rise above 
There is no song 
Louder than love 

Chorus

Bridge (Can't hear the solo well enough -- update to come when album version is released)
