Questionable Lyricism

Up and down day. Morning, nearly late for class. Then, I skip class and Canada loses. But hanging out w/ the guys was nice. Then I get to my Stats class, review thing,

Okay, so mostly down, but whatever. And yes, I should be studying for my Stats midterm tomorrow, but I wanna share a story in the morning.

You see, as I got in the car, warming up the engine, waiting for my sister, I decided to turn on the radio. It was on Z, too lazy to change. Then, a song comes up:

Some say love is just for sinners
I believe it is not true
Cause when I was really sinning love came down and gave me You
Told me how to get there
So I plan my escape
I ran through the garden
But I tripped on the gate
But I tripped on the gate

I was like, whoa, it's like, a christian song on Z, that isn't Switchfoot/Creed/etc. And as I continued listening, I was just shocked:

What are you doing to me
I'm so into you
Isn't it easy to see
I'm falling for you
Yeah you
You
Yeah you

...wait a second, I know this song! It's that freakin' weirdo from Canadian Idol! Wait, does that mean Hedley's a christian band?? Uhhh...I don't think so??

Then my sister comes in, starts listening to it too, and points out that it could be having one of those double-meaning lyrics that most popularized christian-esque songs seem to have. [i.e., "All Over You", about being gay, or about Jesus? Or both?]

But yeah, questionable lyrics nonetheless. After a quick scan of several other Hedley lyrics, I found more examples of similar questionable lyrics. But then I realized that I'm trying to look for them, meaning I'm probably reading too much into nothing. As I usually tend to do. Oh well...

Anyways, I believe I've spent far too much time procrastinating as it is. I'm going to bed.

Until next time, I guess...
