Well, of course, we are all going to have our own opinions and I like/agree with what you all have posted so far! I love this song and Say Anything. I hadn't heard anything about this song being written about his fiance, but if that's true then it definitely fits, but I get mixed opinions from the lyrics. I feel its about both his fiance and about God. Like AllChokedup said, " It's about somebody who's restored his hope, specifically in life and the afterlife" His wife obviously has strong faith, "There's no one who imagines like you, You're convinced there's somewhere that we go to" is Heaven. The first class ticket to the abyss is where he's headed if he kills himself, but God won't let him.."Nothing seems to turn out right" during his failed attempts. God has other plans for him. He isn't sure still if he is going to heaven for both trying to kill himself (or whoever the person is, hopefully is figuratively speaking. Idk if you know anything, but was Max ever suicidal?? I didn't think so anyway..) and for the way he lives with little faith, that's why he will tell God he is with his wife (you), who HAS stuck with him through his hard times and he really is a great person at heart. Visa versa, if he goes to hell "in that lake of fire" he won't tell them he is with her because then i guess she would have to come to hell too for loving him, who, had little faith?? I guess im not sure, but that would be the reason why the last thing he'll do is say he's with "you". For whatever reason though, "you" is the person who is helping him all throughout his life on Earth, but also has a distant relation with God. Weather he has restored his faith or not by the end I'm not sure, and obviously he's not either. But then again no one knows for sure who's gettin' in or not, just gotta have faith!!
