Cover art for Miracles lyrics by Jefferson Starship

My parents played this song, I didn't really care for it at the time.

But I heard the chorus at the end of the movie Crank I believe, and it just sound so, so pretty I guess you could say. Although the lyrics are a bit dirty.

Anyway, I the point of my post is this. Focusing on the chorus something stood out to me. I don't know if everybody gets this but it's what I got.

"If only you believed like I believed, we'd get bye." "If only you believed in miracles, so would I."

He's having a conflict between his "religious" beliefs, and his love for this woman who does not share them. He's in a state of limbo "If only you believed how I believe, we'd last." While also saying "If only you believed as I do, I would keep my religion (beliefs)" as a result he sorta of has neither. Accepting her is partially denying himself, and denying himself is the only way he can accept her. I just love that concept, even though it's sad.
