I think it’s a song about being served divorce papers. Or, at least the pages that needed signed. It’s something you would hold on to in hopes the other would change their mind. “Can I hold it for a week?” To me, means she wants to wait as long as possible before signing and returning. Finalizing the end of something the singer felt was beautiful love, although no longer being loved back. It feels like a desperate final plea.
@Blehbibro The lyrics are a reference to Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's LDS faith. The Plan is God's plan, renewed via weekly sacrament. The song is prayer between Mimi Parker and her higher power, God. She asks to hold God's word in her heart for the week until she takes her next sacrament. Even though listeners may not share the same faith, the premise is still relatable for anyone asking for strength and inner peace over a period of time (ie: strength to make it through a busy week.) Much like the Serenity Prayer, the listener can use the song...
