what a mesmerising performance. the lyrics are simple, but they describe me perfectly. just yesterday i had a friend come to me with his world crashing down. my media player was on shuffle and this song came on and i had a bit of a laugh. i was told that all OneRepublic songs have 'religious meanings' (what? as if they can't have any other interpretations?) meanings and interpretations are two COMPLETELY different things. interpretation implies opinion, while meaning implies FACT.
oh, and after having said all that, angela shut up you blind sheep. so you can twist words around to make the song about God, that just drives me nuts.
god doesn't love your aching bones. he loves you if you're heterosexual, white, rich and you donate lots of money.
"he loves you if you're heterosexual, white, rich and you donate lots of money."
Sorry, but that's not true. God loves you no matter who you are. And I suppose people think that OneRepublic songs have "religious meanings" (it would probably be Christian meanings, btw), because the members of the band are Christians. But that doesn't mean that they have to be seen that way, nor that every one of them have meanings relevant to God/Christianity.

Might I just say, that last line is honestly one of the single most idiotic thing I have ever heard, and I can only hope and pray you do not go around preaching that to people.
