1997 – Zechariah's Song Lyrics 17 years ago
Alright, I made an account just for this song.
The band, and Zechariah are friends of a friend.
Actually, the person who the song is written for.
So I thought I'd share the stories behind peices of the song.

First of all, it's a song about a girl that he was with that didn't work out, obviously.
Most of the song is about her, and the real relationship that she and Zechariah had.

As for the references that I know of..

"I've got a friend who brought a picture frame on his trip across the world. But he broke it back in Denver, never made it to his girl in California."

That's about a real person, they had a friend who took a vacation across the country, he ended up drowning on his trip.

"I've got a friend who talks to Jesus to heal her broken heart. She's holding onto pieces she's never even thought of letting go."

That's about a conversation he had with her during a hard time in her life.

"You better get your kiss before it's midnight."

An obvious reference to the Cinderella story, and also the night that he met her they were young and she had a 12:00 curfew.

I'm pretty sure the translation would have to do with "echoing distant miles". They didn't work out because he moved across the country.
