First of all, why does every song ever written have to be about a girl? And why is it so ridiculous that someone with a strongly religious background would write a song reflect his inner thoughts about God? Really? All those biblical references for a song about some random girl?
I might be prejudiced... but I feel like I know what this song because I can relate to Jesse's upbringing: a Christian family. And like him, I don't follow the beliefs of my family. But if you've never had that experience, of course you reject the possibility he's musing about religion. If you hate religion, you don't want to believe that he can have a softer side toward it, that he can muse about believing it or not, because you don't.
You can do terrible things, but still have moments where you sit and ponder jesus death. I think that's exactly what created this song, a feeling that his old beliefs are still there in this heart, dormant but alive, and wondering while Christ would even want him anymore.
Why does every song have to be taken so literal? The entire theme of this album is the conflict of the good and bad within and all the emotions that follow. Metaphors and themes have been very prevalent in his lyrics in every single one of their songs. Like Play Crack the Sky relating a bad relationship to a sinking ship.

Yeah, DarthRaider is right. Plus, he DOES make a reference to how he can't find love. "With nobody in your bed, the night's hard to get through." You think he's tryna tap Jesus? I don't think this song is completely about a girl. Like others have said here, it's about depression. But one of the topics briefly touched upon is the lack of a love life.

@waterlilies18 This is so not about a girl. Some people……
This song is about him having a conversation with God about life as we know it and wondering what happens when we arrive at a final destination, in life, and particularly death. HIs desperation for a meaning of life and seeks to find the answer with God.

@waterlilies18 I have to agree with you, most times a songs meaning is very straigtforward and literal, especially to the writer. We think its subjective (up to interpretation) because we dont know the authors meaning. Jesse knew what he meant and what he was writinng about, and thats what we're trying to decipher. Were not here to find out how the lyrics relate to each persons life. The singer sings about god and heaven and the song name is jesus christ. Its not open to interpretation objectively speaking. I know that singing about god and...

I know that singing about god and christ makes some people uncomfortable but that is clearly what the song is about, you cant just omit God from the song as a creative perspective, its literally wrong and thats not what Brand New wrote about, The song has a very straightforward meaning and I think that Mugidora and Musiea have fairly close song descriptions.
@waterlilies18 I don’t understand how anyone could think this song is about a girl. This is about internal struggle with words so eloquently written I’d be depressed that I couldn’t hear it after an apocalypse.

Actually, I believe the bit about the bed is referring to Jesus living a life of a celibacy. He had no wife and therefore Jesse is asking, 'don't you get lonely?' He switches between talking to Jesus and talking to himself throughout the song. That's how it sounds in my opinion.
