What a pretty song!

I hear a busy busy world--with a million things going on--but the singer keeps returning to his lovely girl. It's like, everything is spinning so fast, and you have to know what you're going to hang onto--this interpretation of course is biased to my simple three listens

I really wish I understood what the artist means through all his references! Especially about the priest. I hope to find more comments on this song soon!

I could be wrong. (Catholic priest in a crisis - shortage of Catholic priest and speculates its because of the doctrine that keeps them from marriage this priest is true to the church and leaves the church instead of corrupting it by keeping his love secret. it goes on to empathize with him the man of faith and calls for a change let him love, the man of faith.)
