Paperthin Hymn Lyrics

Cover art for Paperthin Hymn lyrics by Anberlin

I saw Anberlin live a few weeks ago, and right before the played this song, he kind of explained the song. Very briefly, he said that the song is about a couple that has gone out for a long time and the girl gets sick with cancer and is hosiptalized. So the boy tells the girl that he will stay by her side forever, well he lies and then leaves right before she dies. Paperthin is meaning their relationship in the end.

i agree. Stephen Christian makes this so clear through the musci video but everyone wants to believ its about a couple that just break up not die you know? they are just together an osm band!
