Derek Webb's songs, if you can't tell, are often love songs. The hard thing is figuring out whether he is singing to his wife or the church. I think on this track on Mockingbird he is singing about his wife.
In his words:
it’’s been one of those kinds of days
and i feel so out of place
and i hate everything, everything
i hate everything but you
Anyone who has been in love knows what it's like to have someone in whom no matter how badly the day has fallen apart, you still find your bearings. What its like to have a refuge in your lover.
What I like about the song is its distinctive human quality. I hate everything (although I probably shouldn't), except you, my love, my wife.
