Song story
About "The Cure For Pain," Foreman has said, "I wrote this one in Texas on a day off. I was reflecting on the passing of time. I have been playing music in Switchfoot for about ten years. During that period, I have been fighting pain or running away from it in a myriad of ways. And yet the pain is a constant. I have had some amazing moments singing gravity away but the water keeps on falling.
I began to think of the suffering I see around me, I think of the pain of a grandmother dying of cancer. Of a friend killed by a train. I think of the pain of death, of failure, of rejection, the pain of a father losing his only son. And I came to the conclusion that I cannot run from pain any longer."[http://www.antimusic.com/news/07/dec/10Jon_Foreman_(Switchfoot)_Week-_The_Cure_For_Pain.shtml Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) Week: The Cure For Pain] - Published December 9, 2007 (retrieved February 1, 2009)
