Did I tell you it was wine when really it was water?
I walked upon the wine it went to my head and I faltered
I've tried to heal your bones I've tried to tell your future
Maybe I should just call up my friends
And play some music, be myself
Well I've been thinking about what do I and say
To climb my way down this ladder keep me
from flying away
And if there's a preacher here will you preach
the truth?
I want to know more about Jesus
All I want is you (all I want is you)
All I want is you now
All I want is you (all I want is you)
All I want is you
Did I tell you it was fine to come and
question nothing?
To look upon the sign as the answer to it all
Oh why do I feel poor?
Why do I feel nervous?
I think it's time to put on my God shoes
And do what I'm here for
Raise the flag again
Can I be free from the chains of my religion
They wrap around my head and blind my eyes of faith
And I feel dangerous 'cause I hunger for the truth
This tight rope's swinging high
No turning back
Teach me to fly

I think it's about how "religion" has kept us from the real point of the faith: to know and love Jesus Christ. We believe everything those who call themselves preachers tell us, without figuring it out for ourselves and becoming closer to God. I love these lines:
Can I be free, from the chains of my religion?
They wrap around my head and they blind my eyes of faith
And I feel dangerous cause I hunger for the truth

We can get caught up walking the tightrope of religious doctrine, or we can jump off and work to what christianity really is. That's kinda what I think it means....
