There's one way out and one way in
Back to the beginning
There's one way back to home again
To where I feel forgiven
What is this I feel, why is it so real
What am I to say
It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear, that run through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
I am just an image of something so much greater
I am just a picture frame, I am not the painter
Where do I begin, can I shed this skin
What is this I feel within
It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human
It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human
Oh that make us human
Back to the beginning
There's one way back to home again
To where I feel forgiven
What is this I feel, why is it so real
What am I to say
It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear, that run through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
I am just an image of something so much greater
I am just a picture frame, I am not the painter
Where do I begin, can I shed this skin
What is this I feel within
It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human
It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human
That make us human
That make us human
Oh that make us human

The first verse speaks about "one way" and ends with feeling forgiven. This echos the Christian belief that Jesus is the only way to heaven (which is what I think 'home' refers to).
The line, "I am just an image of, something so much greater" seems to be a way of articulating that human beings were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). "I am just a picture frame, not the painter" seems to recognize that there is a higher sovereignty than human beings who works inside of us (notice the painter would paint a canvas which goes inside the picture frame). "What is this I feel within" also seems to allude to how God works in men's hearts by the Holy Spirit.
This band is like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Fray, and U2. Their lyrics contain many Christian principles and truths, but they aren't explicitly stated. I love it!
I wouldn't argue that it's NOT Christian, but I wouldn't argue that it is.
<-- Big fan of interpreting information found in the song, not adding information to it.
"Insight is gained by understanding how the Artist has manipulated the elements of his work."
theres nothing to really distinguish between us anymore because we all have the same emotions.
it's definitely about being in love.
