The Boy Least Likely To – I Box Up All The Butterflies Lyrics 17 years ago
A romance failed because they couldn't just relax and take things slow. The relationship is ruined for the sake of making memories.

Dispatch – The General Lyrics 18 years ago
It is so about Jesus, and not just through generalized statements.

"On the eve of battle with the infantry in dream"
-Reference to the night in the garden where the disciples were all asleep, while...

"The Old General tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning"
-...Jesus prayed to God, contemplating His death

"I have seen the others
And I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
And I have seen their mothers
And I will no other to follow me where I'm going"
-possibly a specific reference to where Jesus tells Peter to put away his sword, definitely a reference to Him explaining at the last supper what was going to happen to Him

This one's a stretch, but could "take a shower, shine your shoes" be a reference to washing feet? Hmm... anywho, moving on...

"Not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead,
Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight"
-By the time Jesus was taken by the guards at Gethsemane, all of his disciples had left and He was left alone with no support to await the crucifixion He knew was coming

And come on... "go now, you are forgiven"... duh.

Anyway, I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. It fits pretty perfectly.
