"And why on earth should you do what god wants you to do
when he's got more than a few
manuals from which to choose?"
Yes, God has many books with all the knowledge of the universe, but there is only one Plan. If you want to live with God and be linked with your spouse and children, that's the only Plan that will work. That's the "straight and narrow" path we hear from the pulpits and our hearts.
"And the sadness you have
is the love that you feel"
Nope. the sadness is from stepping off the course that your heart knows is true.
"...trying to turn itself into something that's real..."
In a sense, this is partly true but not in the way the artists intend. Going against the Plan, the Plan of Salvation, is attempting to force what's false into what is real. It's like putting your finger in a flame and fully expecting it to tickle.
I love the tune. But, the lyrics make me sad.

This song saddens me.
