This version is so incredible.

I asked Bazan about this song at a living room show and he said he wrote it about his friend's relationship and that he felt guilty writing it.

I wish he could fit the piano in his van for the living room tours.

I could listen to this on repeat for years.

Well yeah that just means it has 2 meanings ... a relationship with God is paralleled in the bible to a sexual relationship. Did Bazan mean to talk about his own departure from christianity in it? I dunno....

@l33tpwnzord why would he say baby? and the part about the wick is about a wedding lol. it's about a girl leaving a guy or something and the guy basically saying that he was faking the whole time anyway, in a way to get the upper hand in the situation ya know

@C20SM i think you are close, but notice the line where he says "you know it isn't like me to be inflammatory, but rather than let you think i was so naive i'd have you believe...i never wanted you" it's a song about a guy getting his heart broken by a girl and saying well i was faking the whole time. it's denial ya know.

@l33tpwnzord If I remember correctly, David said in an interview that this song was written about a man he knew that left his wife. This guy's reason for throwing away the marriage was that he'd never really loved her in the first place and was only faking it. So, this song isn't intended to be autobiographical at all. But you are right: this song is amazing.

Is this song about his wife or about God?
Could be either really..... fucking fabulous.
