Err, this is hardly about religion, mate.
The singer is madly infatuated with this girl, right? And suddenly being with her is the most important thing in the world. So, even though he's "got an audience with the pope" and is "saving the world at eight", none of it is more important than being together with her- and ironically he has everything else in the world waiting for him while SHE's keeping HIM waiting. Awesome song.
