Very interesting interpretations, all of you. Yes, Flyleaf has already dubbed themselves a Christian band in one of their interviews. As for ambiguity, it's just a way to spread the Message without it being so blatantly stated that it loses appeal it could otherwise hold to someone who needs it ... I admit, though, in my mind, atheism has never quite worked out somehow ... When all things, without exception, are cause and effect, how can someone say humanity lacks a Cause? I'm forced to wonder.

I never thought about it being about sex ... promiscuity ... How sad. It's like she left a piece of herself with someone who didn't even love her. That feeling was meant for good ... How often we twist what God intends for good. Very sad, very beautiful song.

But who said that atheists think that cause and effect doesn't exist? I think every person has their own interpretation to this song. And I personally like to think that it's about a girl who knows she is going to end up breaking up from a boy and so she savours the moments. And eventually she does leave one last kiss but she still has hope to be with him again. I see situations like this everyday.
