Anyone think this song might be about the narrator losing her belief in God, and the disarray it puts her life into? I think the first stanza, how he's "sitting" under her in "dreams;" that could be a comparison between God and dreams--both of these can seem so real yet God might be just as fictional as dreams are. The third stanza illustrates the comfort she gets from praying perhaps, his "hands" unfolding her and taking her worries away, forming a protective ring around her. When the narrator struggles with the belief in paragraph 4, the "God" in her mind tells her that she's just hiding from her, and her life is divided because of her conflicting beliefs. In the end, her doubt overcomes her, leaving her feeling "alone."
