hmmphh... I haven't heard any of the new album, but I somewhat enjoyed the lack of sex involved in the last ones. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting, but I'm pretty sure this is about sex, and it's somewhat disapointing from a Christian artist "Pity that its not my wife"...
wow, i got in 7 yrs late lol, I have heard this song a few times, i cant help but think it is actually about the rapture....(well dah), but i think maybe he sees the end is coming, so he hooks up with some girl... until he notices he has gone to far, but then he wants more, but jesus is calling him to give it up and go to heaven already

I don't understand what's wrong with writing a song about sex if your a christian artist, we are all human and have desire. Secondly, the song has the character expressing that he is making a mistake during the act but goes with it, he's human. I think christian artists or any artists who don't address sex in their music is not expressing the human condition. Simple as that, if you can't openly talk/sing about sex your repressed and trying to repress others.

@ littleMc....seriously how can it be about the "rapture" did you actually listen to the song? Rapture has different contexts and in this song he is using it to express the a sublime sensation that sex creates with someone you love. and expressing that he "hears jesus" is just explaining how sex can be a religious experience...hell it's the most religious experience I've ever had next to listening to a great album.
@harmony.. you said yourself that Rapture has multiple contexts, and here Bazan is using both to show the irony of adultery. The character probably hasn't been able to sleep with his wife for a while, either because his passion for her is gone or vice versa, so he has decided to finally feel pleasure again by sleeping with someone else. the irony: no more salvation for the sinner, if you feel too much rapture, you won't get to take part in the rapture
