God By Another Name Lyrics
what if life wasn't long
and everybody just got a single moment?
if you wasted the moment alone
spent your while time thinking: "why should i need love?"
then look above to the sky and beyond
'cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, believe me
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
what if life was a car
and you didn't really know how to start it
would you sit in your car like a clown
or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?
and kiss a mouth, make it smile and be proud
that at least you had a good time for awhile?
believe me
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
and if you hold on to me now
and never let go
then i guess at least we'll know
the sense that it all made, oh
'cause everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
but you stayed
and everybody just got a single moment?
if you wasted the moment alone
spent your while time thinking: "why should i need love?"
then look above to the sky and beyond
'cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, believe me
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
and you didn't really know how to start it
would you sit in your car like a clown
or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?
and kiss a mouth, make it smile and be proud
that at least you had a good time for awhile?
believe me
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
and never let go
then i guess at least we'll know
the sense that it all made, oh
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside

I think the song is about making your own 'destiny', writing your own life. Your life is 'one moment' so don't waste it in a 'car' (life) that doesn't want to start. Get out of the car and go to the nearest bar and 'live in the moment' (Don't let the obstacles of life stop you from grabbing new opportunities that let you have a good time for a while).
So I think the singer found his 'God' (i.e. a saviour) that saved him from his dull life for a moment... and stayed.
