Cover art for Dam Would Break lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

No doubt, TTWS has alot of religious themes in many of their songs. However, I don't think this is one of them. This lyrics remind me of the feelings I have about the breakup of my marriage and my lack of ability to communicate with my ex. "my god" is not a reference to a diety, but rather an idiom for "how stupid were we." Could very well be speaking of addiction that is tearing the two apart.
