"I got a chill
And I wanted to say it was you
Be still because what I'm about to say is the truth
Unless we stretch until the point of nearly breaking in two
We'll never find our weakness coming unglued"
This verse is referring to his search for God, and wondering if he is misinterpreting God's wishes for his life. He's beginning to realize that what he thought was God's will may have been wishful thinking as he searched for a sign that he should go in the direction he wanted to.
"A cracked sculpture
I wanted to say it was you
Feeding vultures are why I feel the way I do
I fell in love
And I wanted to say it was you
I wanted to say it was you"
He's denying that the feelings of maybe his fiance not being who he is meant to be with are from God, that it is people who are detrimines to pick him apart, which is why he uses vultures. He fell in love and wanted to say that it had to have been God's wishes and that this was the girl he was meant to be with, but really it was wishful thinking.
"If you believe me
We could stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you'd have to disbelieve yourself"
I think this might be God's voice, telling him that to listen to what God has to say, you have to ignore your own desires, or disneleive yourself. He also ends it with the phrase, "if you beleive me," emphasizing that it is our choice to beleive God, that he doesn't force us.
"A sudden wind
And I wanted to say it was you I've never been
So confused about who knows the truth
Where to begin
Well I wanted to say it was you
Because you swore you had your hand in this too"
He's become so confused that he's confusing everything with God's will, even something totally small and unrelated, like a sudden wind. Everyone is telling him different things and he doesn't know who to beleive. He wants to say that his own will is God's, and doesn't understand how he could fall in love with someone if she wasn't meant to be "the one," because God promised He would have His hand in every part of our lives.
"Cause I'm here wondering what could you be thinking
Though I know you're there thinking that I wonder that all the time"
He's doubting God and His will for his life, and is a little guilty at doubting God so much.
"I can still invade your thoughts when you're not with me
Yeah don't mind me I'm just a parasite on your mind
Yeah don't mind me I know you're wondering all the time"
At this point God's voice comes in again, saying that, even when we deny His voice, He still knows everything we're thinking. When we deny Him, he can't help us in our decisions, but only sit and watch as we deviate from His path for our life.
Please tell me if you think I'm right, wrong, stupid, whatever. I want know what you guys think! :)
I think you hit it right on. That was how I had been viewing it too, but you cleared up any verses that had confused me before. I like to look at it this way because sometimes I have trouble understanding exactly what God wants me to do. Sometimes I just pray for some kind of sign that will point me in the right direction for the next step of God's Plan. And then I'm afraid that I misinterpreted the sign. So I can relate to the song much better if I look at it like this. It reminds me...

I think this song goes like this:

Thanks! Yay, I'm glad I'm not crazy... Haha, and I do that all the time as well. Another reason I love this song!
