Tyler and Josh have revealed that this song is actually about a girl named Ruby who has Down's Syndrome and went to their church, hence the lyric, "Ruby I hope I see you, I've waited all this week." This song is mostly about how highly Tyler thinks of her, like an angel, but there's also a message of repentance towards the end (Tell our Dad I'm sorry). It's not uncommon for Tyler to mention his faltering relationship with his God in his songs; for example, '[[Addict With A Pen|Addict With a Pen]]' is strictly about how he feels that he hasn't been the best of followers and is now struggling to reconnect. By equating Ruby to an angel, he's seeing her as a messenger that will let God, their Father, know that he's sorry, again, probably for not having the best relationship with Him that he could. No matter what it means, it's brilliantly clever and adorable. [https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858875299/ <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>] | |||
