Honestly, this song fits me perfectly. I went through a rough spot, and then found out that through it, I found God all the stronger. Jesus was there, in between.
first listening from 2006 till this day 2020...reminded me of my late friends w whom we used to play this song together and now im the only one left with those memories😣
I feel you on that & it's like we're do we go from here with all those memories rest easy god bless 😔 from los Angeles CA sincerely a young Armenian Mexican trying to take it day by day
My first love passed away in high school. Before my eyes, he was just...gone. At 17, I hated the idea of a God being that cruel, to take away what I loved the most in this world. I was the last person he looked at, the last girl he kissed, made love to, and even now, “all these twisted thoughts I see, Jesus there in between”. These lyrics hit me like a train and they’ve hit me since I heard it 10 years ago. I miss him every damn day. But days like today when I’m really missing him and remembering him, after I bid my current boyfriend goodbye for the day, I put on this song and those everlasting memories show his soul. “Kiss the stars with me, and dread the wait for stupid calls returning us to life”
me and this girl got a standing ovation for doing this song in karaoke this one girl was moved to tears and said it was the most beautiful song shed ever heard and i do screamo/gutturals but no one knew i could sing until this song it opened me up as a singer and showed a different side of me no one knew i had
This song simultaneously makes me cry because of the nostalgia, because of the message and makes me cry because it makes me miss a lover that I've never had
I love this song so much it's 2022 and this stays with me , this is what you call powerful music , vocal and instrumental. The lead guitarist really outdone himself on this one . This is life
This song helped me through my first heartbreak and made me realize how true it is "It can't be true 'cause we're too young.....A year goes by and I can't talk about it".
The whole song is beautiful but that final chorus crashing in with Lacey's monster vocals flowing over one another until she says "with all these twisted thoughts I see, jesus there in-between" is one of the best endings to a song I have ever heard.
I can watch Lacey sing song after song and just want more and more at first I didn't know flyleaf was a Christian group then after listening to menny songs I heard more and more of the message keep it up Lacey you are a true blessing from God if any thing just know my life was a nightmare for years from addiction and Thur GODs grace I'm clean today all I can do is take it one day at a time and your music has help me more than you could ever understand so I thank you for that I've been spreading the message and I use many of your songs to do so your friend in recovery mark from Detroit
I just started reading Lacey Sturm's book , "The Mystery Finding True Love In A World Of Broken Lovers ." It's very beautiful , and encouraging . Lacey talks about her life before Jesus , and it was really a mess , but now , she's doing great . She's a wife , and a mother , and she's making great , and beautiful , powerful music , and yes , it really rocks !!!!
Toward the end of 2011, my sister told everyone that she was pregnant. We were ecstatic, since she wasn't supposed to be able to have children. A few days after we all found out, she miscarried. Shortly after I heard the news, I heard this song, and bawled the whole time. It's been well over a year now, and I still cry listening to it. :(
Playing this album while doing art tonight and wow still holds up so many great memories but this song stood out as my favorite tonight. What a beautiful song.
I'm a man, and I'll admit, this song make me wanna or actually makes me cry. I wouldn't mind dying to this song or laying in the grass with my ex whom I truly love. 2018 anyone?
This song holds a lot of memories for me, last year I met a guy and immediately fell for him, yes, I know Flyleaf is a Christian band, I am a Christian and I met this guy at our small Christian school, it was during Fall, we started dating and we were supposedly "madly in love" I had to leave that school in January and we had a not so good breakup, I'm still not over him and it's now fall again and I found my way to this song, it's a reminder of him but also a reminder that I made it through and I will make it through for much longer, I've listened and loved Flyleaf since I was 7, always been here for me and now I am 15, I know the true meaning of music and everything that comes and goes with it
This song and album came out my senior year of high school, 05-06, and this song has stood the test of time and beyond, it’s so beautiful I don’t have words for it 💚
This song reminds me that while I try to be strong and endure my burdens, that it is ok to come before God weak, and tired- and that there is love there.
i cry ...everytime i listen to this.. just makes me think of my dad, he was my bestfriend and now hes gone ..he died a year ago and im 14.. its rough but i know hes looking down on me smiling so imma just smile back , i love you father
Lacey I was saved by momento more. I was given that cd with others when I was gone for eight years. I don’t think I would have survived without your music for those years. Missing is one of my favorites. I had no parents so I learned a lot on my own but that song is close to my heart I can only hope I can meet u once in person u r a beautiful person inside and out. I’ll always love your words u write with in your songs please don’t stop the music. Your fan forever can’t wait for more from u. Love your voice no other like it.
"All these twisted thoughts I see, Jesus there in-between" hits me hard. C- PTSD and bipolar with disturbing hallucinations hits hard and this helps me remember Gid is there for me.
This song reminds me of someone crying and trying to get her feelings known, and then, when the guy joins her, she realizes she's not alone, and that he understands her.
This song gives me an iron taste in the back of my throat and reminds me of the days when nothing seemed to get better and the lives of the friends that have been lost along the way. I'll remember you forever, thought I never knew you as well as some did. RIP Joe and Ian.
happy 2018! in 7th grade I listened to this song over and over in "in-school-suspension" (ISS) for 5 days. In other words, detention during school hours. But I love this song. I'm 23. This song brings back young memories.
Helped me get through my first break up. I still cry when I think about how bittersweet it all was, but in the end I am so thankful he's a close friend. It's been 3 years.
I can relate this song to my failed marriage. I listened to this song so many times and it got me through. I was young and in love with the idea of being in love, now I know better.
It’s 2010. March so springs coming through. A friend of mine shows me this song in math. I fall in love with the song. 2 hours later a snow storm hits out of nowhere. I decide that it’s too much to walk home (30 minutes) so a few of my friends decided they wanna hang out and I’m like please can I come along. I go. We listen to Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin, Skillet, Blink 182 and wait for the storm to pass. We get snowed in. The power gets cut. We’re all huddling just trying to stay warm. The next day I walk home in more snow than there was the day before. This song is on repeat. This song (especially the beginning) is the most fun memory from high school. I moved to Australia a few years later and when I see snow on my friends or family’s Facebook now, I get all sad and I sit in the aircon and listen to all these old emo tunes and just get super sad. If you have made it the whole way, well done. If you’re in high school and you like this song, remember this time for you is the happiest time of your life, make memories and enjoy the good and the bad. One day you’ll miss how simple this shit is.
god, please save me. im here and i know youre here with me, but many times i forget that. i am so grateful that you send me reminders when i get lost. it gets so hard sometimes having to deal with these demons...especially when they physically attack. nevertheless i am so grateful for your love and i promise i will do my best to be a better man
this song for me personally makes me think about a brak up that happened almost exactly one year ago, it always makes me cry, i went into such a deep depression, i tried/wanted to severly die, im better now but it was so scary...and another thing*not to you* but dont be like "UGH! I HATE EMO PEOPLE!" cuz seriously, it doesnt help them, your the reason for suicides. i hope the beginning helps you. "a year goes by and i cant talk about it" its still hard.
This is a poem set to music, it really is. I mean one could argue all music is, but this song has beautiful lyrics. I miss you Bobbi Jo. You were my best friend. I hope you're living a wonderful life, I really do.
It's been about years off and on, and when you dumped me I was hurt. Truth be told I'm glad to be out of a bad relationship, but truth be told-you loved me. Why couldn't we get it right? Birds can't fly without resistance, maybe one day we'll fly away together. You meant to me, you meant to me.
"I was so In love with you so I thought A year goes by and I cant talk about it" So relatable this was one of my songs I listened to after my first heart break and I couldn't talk about it to anyone cuz it hurt too much and I didn't trust anyone :/
'A year goes by'. Im not religious but this song always reminds me of a friend who commited suicide last year. I said to her I would follow her, but I didnt, 'close your eyes and i'll close mine.' I know thats not what this song is about, but if its about love then thats all that matters.
i got her auto graph and afew pics in florida ive benn followin them since they started i actually went to their first concert when i was a youngen and i never stoped listening since i still have this cd i had it since i was 13
I can only think of my ex when hearing this song... I loved him... and I still do :) sadly, this love I feel it's not a strong one but more like the love of a memory... God knows how much I cried when he broke up with me and this song helped me realise, this is not the end
I get it. I haven't been with my ex for years and being with my husband of 8 years i Still use this song for my ex. It's weird how we still put this song together with someone who is nothing but a stranger now
As much as I want the world to hear music like this, I'm happy that only a select few of us have come to appreciate it.
Ty
Well said
Hear. Hear.
Yes! This song is epic! Gives me chills
Agree 🤘🏼🎸🥁
Honestly, this song fits me perfectly. I went through a rough spot, and then found out that through it, I found God all the stronger. Jesus was there, in between.
Well said.
Crying 😭😭😭💖
🙏
I hope you are continuing strong, walking in His grace. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not faithless, just paranoid of getting lost, or that I might lose.
When lyrics hit you like a train
This should have 500k likes.
Exactly
Like a train is right… 💜
Since 2005 I still find this to be one of the most beautiful songs, lyrically, that I've come across.
my first time was fall of 2007
My first time is now
Alex C. I always come back to this song. I agree fully. It’s powerful.
Hell yea dude. With ya on that.
first listening from 2006 till this day 2020...reminded me of my late friends w whom we used to play this song together and now im the only one left with those memories😣
I feel you on that & it's like we're do we go from here with all those memories rest easy god bless 😔 from los Angeles CA sincerely a young Armenian Mexican trying to take it day by day
Dang... Feels, wishing you kindest of greeting. "Find more Zang." Be well, be excellent to each other. LoveA+

This song simultaneously makes me cry because of the nostalgia, because of the message and makes me cry because it makes me miss a lover that I've never had
😢😢😢😢😢
U fr just gave me a whole other reason too be sad about wtf quit talking nigga!!!
I love this song so much it's 2022 and this stays with me , this is what you call powerful music , vocal and instrumental. The lead guitarist really outdone himself on this one . This is life
And now it's 2023 and still listening. Never get old. Still love this song!!❤
This song helped me through my first heartbreak and made me realize how true it is "It can't be true 'cause we're too young.....A year goes by and I can't talk about it".
I went to sleep to this song all the time when I was 13, still think it's one of the most beautiful songs with amazing lyrics that I've ever heard♡
I love listening to music like this as I done off. Also Ingrid Michaelson has some great ones. Personal favorite is "wonderful unknown"
Same!!!!
Tonight is one of those nights for me
The whole song is beautiful but that final chorus crashing in with Lacey's monster vocals flowing over one another until she says "with all these twisted thoughts I see, jesus there in-between" is one of the best endings to a song I have ever heard.
I can watch Lacey sing song after song and just want more and more at first I didn't know flyleaf was a Christian group then after listening to menny songs I heard more and more of the message keep it up Lacey you are a true blessing from God if any thing just know my life was a nightmare for years from addiction and Thur GODs grace I'm clean today all I can do is take it one day at a time and your music has help me more than you could ever understand so I thank you for that I've been spreading the message and I use many of your songs to do so your friend in recovery mark from Detroit
That's beautiful man. I pray you're still keeping the faith. Stay strong in God brother!
God bless you and good luck what an amazing story thank you and god bless you
I just started reading Lacey Sturm's book , "The Mystery Finding True Love In A World Of Broken Lovers ." It's very beautiful , and encouraging . Lacey talks about her life before Jesus , and it was really a mess , but now , she's doing great . She's a wife , and a mother , and she's making great , and beautiful , powerful music , and yes , it really rocks !!!!
Still love in 2019!😍
Always and forever
Rachel Brewer Yep!
Me too...
Always
2021 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song was a light during my dark days. Thankfully those days are gone but this song is still a light.
Jesus There In Between.
In any circumstances or trials just know that God is there.
Amen

Perception is reality. Music is deeply personal and subjective. We are free to take the meaning of the lyrics as whatever speaks to our spirit.
Ima Maia Perfectly said!
Reality is reality. You are free to deny it all you want. God gave you that. That is reality.
beautifully said.
You are beautiful
Totally agreed.Reality is perception.

Best song Lacey ever wrote. I cant move or even think of anything else when this song is on.
this song helped me make my decision to leave my friends and family and move on
Nick Mann hope you're ok
In 2018, this song touches me the same way it did 10 years ago! Incredible!!!!
This song holds a lot of memories for me, last year I met a guy and immediately fell for him, yes, I know Flyleaf is a Christian band, I am a Christian and I met this guy at our small Christian school, it was during Fall, we started dating and we were supposedly "madly in love" I had to leave that school in January and we had a not so good breakup, I'm still not over him and it's now fall again and I found my way to this song, it's a reminder of him but also a reminder that I made it through and I will make it through for much longer, I've listened and loved Flyleaf since I was 7, always been here for me and now I am 15, I know the true meaning of music and everything that comes and goes with it

This song and album came out my senior year of high school, 05-06, and this song has stood the test of time and beyond, it’s so beautiful I don’t have words for it 💚
im almost 35 years old yet everytime i hear this can't stop tears flow in my eyes. i want to be young again so bad worshiping God like a freak.
This song reminds me that while I try to be strong and endure my burdens, that it is ok to come before God weak, and tired- and that there is love there.
i cry ...everytime i listen to this.. just makes me think of my dad, he was my bestfriend and now hes gone ..he died a year ago and im 14.. its rough but i know hes looking down on me smiling so imma just smile back , i love you father
Kiss the stars with me, and dread to wait for stupid calls returning us to life
I'd forgotten how much I love this song.
😭
on my knees dim lighted room thoughts free flow try to consume myself in this . I'm not faithless . just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
This doesnt just take me back,, im really there again. Thanks for making freakin cry 💙

"Fight the tears with pretty smiles and lies about the times..a year goes by and i cant talk about it" soo relates to me.
Thanks for saving my life wayback2006.
Still listening at 2018 .
Its been 20 yrs but everytime i hear this song it hits differently.
"All these twisted thoughts I see, Jesus there in-between" hits me hard. C- PTSD and bipolar with disturbing hallucinations hits hard and this helps me remember Gid is there for me.
this makes me cry
Author Gretchen Vanessa Morales Everytime..💙
I miss Lacey wish she were still in Flyleaf and I love all her songs
this song reminds me so much of my feelings towards my ex. makes me wanna cry but i love this song cuz it just captures everything perfectly.
I lost a friend to suicide, & this song always makes me think of him. As sad as it makes me, I’m comforted by it too ♥️
2020 anyone??
A year goes by... (I feel like I grow older everytime I hear that line)
This song reminds me of someone crying and trying to get her feelings known, and then, when the guy joins her, she realizes she's not alone, and that he understands her.
Love the song.
love the band.
love just everything.
Forgot how much I loved this
This song gives me an iron taste in the back of my throat and reminds me of the days when nothing seemed to get better and the lives of the friends that have been lost along the way. I'll remember you forever, thought I never knew you as well as some did.
RIP Joe and Ian.
happy 2018! in 7th grade I listened to this song over and over in "in-school-suspension" (ISS) for 5 days. In other words, detention during school hours. But I love this song. I'm 23. This song brings back young memories.
That's hilarious! I'm 23 as well and loved Flyleaf. "ISS" do they even call it that anymore lol?
Aaron Vigil I know in 2009 at my school that’s what we called it. ISS AND OSS. In school suspension and out of school suspension.
Such a beautiful song. Close your eyes and just drift. Amazing how it just tugs and pulls all these crazy emotions.
Helped me get through my first break up. I still cry when I think about how bittersweet it all was, but in the end I am so thankful he's a close friend.
It's been 3 years.
Still listening in 2017 ❤️
Samantha Henderson me I love this song
Samantha Henderson u were in my class damnnn
Samantha Henderson 2018?
2018❤️💕
2018 about to be listening in 2019.
2022 still hits home 🥰
This reminds me of times when I loved a significant other at an age that seemed impossible to others...
And all these twisted thoughts I see, Jesus there in between.... no richer words
Listening after 7-8years bringing back all the memories..still hits like a fresh song❤️ nostalgic😊💫✨
This hits home when you hit your mid 30s y'all
I can relate this song to my failed marriage. I listened to this song so many times and it got me through. I was young and in love with the idea of being in love, now I know better.
Still my fav 2019
i love the guitars for this song. that intro is what makes the song and my teen years for me. memories.
Here on September 21st, 2020.
Heard this song in 2008.
This is one of my favorites, you can hear how beautiful her soul is through her voice.
this song reminds me so much of me and my ex bestie, we'd put this song on repeat and stay up all night
11yrs ago i fell in love with this song the first time i heard it. 11yrs after, the feels this song gave me never changed.
It’s 2010. March so springs coming through. A friend of mine shows me this song in math. I fall in love with the song. 2 hours later a snow storm hits out of nowhere. I decide that it’s too much to walk home (30 minutes) so a few of my friends decided they wanna hang out and I’m like please can I come along. I go.

If you have made it the whole way, well done. If you’re in high school and you like this song, remember this time for you is the happiest time of your life, make memories and enjoy the good and the bad. One day you’ll miss how simple this shit is.
"the times werent right" i miss my ex. we were just together at the wrong time but at least it was GREAT while it lasted. :) hopefully one day... :)
I've seen her live. She's awesome
This song reminds me of a time in my life when the future seemed exciting and I believed my own potential to be boundless
Update, please. I'm eager to know. Is your present the future you dreamt it to be??
god, please save me. im here and i know youre here with me, but many times i forget that. i am so grateful that you send me reminders when i get lost. it gets so hard sometimes having to deal with these demons...especially when they physically attack. nevertheless i am so grateful for your love and i promise i will do my best to be a better man
this song for me personally makes me think about a brak up that happened almost exactly one year ago, it always makes me cry, i went into such a deep depression, i tried/wanted to severly die, im better now but it was so scary...and another thing*not to you* but dont be like "UGH! I HATE EMO PEOPLE!" cuz seriously, it doesnt help them, your the reason for suicides. i hope the beginning helps you. "a year goes by and i cant talk about it" its still hard.
Omg I remember being 12 listening this song with my best friends. But ok thanks song for making me cry after 10 yrs.
My emo middle schooler in me in cryingggg 😭 I used to praise God to God with this song cry
This song is beautiful. Her voice is fantastic & the lyrics are just perfect.
Flyleaf.
This will forever be OUR song. I miss you but at least I got this music
July 14 2020 but still inlove with this song from my playlist back in 2008 ❤
This is a poem set to music, it really is. I mean one could argue all music is, but this song has beautiful lyrics.
I miss you Bobbi Jo. You were my best friend. I hope you're living a wonderful life, I really do.
Sorry man that touches me. *bro hug*
I remember when I bought this album a decade ago , & this was my most favorite song lol I would always have it on repeat
2018 and I've fallen back into the lyrics
FLYLEAF MY SAVIOR since 2009
It's been about years off and on, and when you dumped me I was hurt. Truth be told I'm glad to be out of a bad relationship, but truth be told-you loved me. Why couldn't we get it right? Birds can't fly without resistance, maybe one day we'll fly away together. You meant to me, you meant to me.
2022 still here love this song
I listened to this song for the first time on the same day my boyfriend broke up with me.
Needless to say, I was in tears.
The 24 people that dislike this song are all apparently deaf.
Sooo much emotion is in this song....I just love it...Best song ive heard in a long time
"I was so In love with you so I thought
A year goes by and I cant talk about it"
So relatable this was one of my songs I listened to after my first heart break and I couldn't talk about it to anyone cuz it hurt too much and I didn't trust anyone :/
'A year goes by'. Im not religious but this song always reminds me of a friend who commited suicide last year. I said to her I would follow her, but I didnt, 'close your eyes and i'll close mine.' I know thats not what this song is about, but if its about love then thats all that matters.
Lacey is one of a kind. When she speaks, the words will come inside you.
i got her auto graph and afew pics in florida ive benn followin them since they started i actually went to their first concert when i was a youngen and i never stoped listening since i still have this cd i had it since i was 13
My daughter's boyfriend is in the army such a brave soldier we love you mark
One of my late brother’s favourite songs.Today is our first Christmas without him💔
2019 and still listening and playing on my guitar 😍
It's a fun song on guitar, isn't it? Absolutely one of my favorite uses for my delay pedal...
I just want to embrace my girl when I hear this song. Like the world is ending and i jist wanna hold her one last time ya know
love this! a fb memory brought me back to this song!
Nona Morton same here
My favorite song... I love the mood, the message, the lyrics... it all just makes me want to curl up and cry (a good, healthy, cry)
I can only think of my ex when hearing this song...
I loved him... and I still do :) sadly, this love I feel it's not a strong one but more like the love of a memory... God knows how much I cried when he broke up with me and this song helped me realise, this is not the end
im not a christian ,and i dont believe in much,but music is a great wonder.this band is just awesome
Reminds me of my ex :/ been a year since she left, but I still can't mention her name out loud
Remember this if she left you she must have not been meant for you and god has someone better lined up for you
if you get dis msg...just wanted to know how ur story turned up?
I get it. I haven't been with my ex for years and being with my husband of 8 years i Still use this song for my ex. It's weird how we still put this song together with someone who is nothing but a stranger now
Want a song to hit you right in face.... This is it. I learned the guitar solo and emotions start dropping like flies.
still listening to this song til 2019
Into and beyond
The harmony in the middle makes it so much more powerful.
