The last lines are so beautiful..."you lift my battered soul, you mend my broken bones together"...one of those lyrics that is so much more powerful because of the way it is sung. First a whisper, then sung, then a heartfelt cry. Awesome.
The song is an abstract look at a Christian falling from grace. He is frustrated at himself for another mistake, and he worries about what others will think and say. Most of all he is sorry to God for his failings. But in the bridge, he realises that no matter how far he falls, God can mend him and lift him up again.
I still dont get what the metaphor of "trying to touch the sun" means though. I know it has to do with Icarus ("trailing wings of melted wax"), but I dont know what it's supposed to mean.
