Context: I was born in the arms of imaginary friends,
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been.
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing,
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring.Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation;
Half of my heart takes time.
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart.

“Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to.”

My mind tells me I'll never understand God.
My heart tells me I'm not meant to.
