I think this song is awesome and is highly underrated. To me it's about a guy that doesn't want a serious relationship because he keeps getting hurt. "He's heard it all before". The line "she bursts into my room caring a Bible and a broom" is so great. The broom is someone coming in to clean up his life, and the Bible is God placing her there. Then is heart is in trouble because he's starting to fall for her. He pulls himself out of falling for her and is trying to keep it casual. She is then in love with him and he tells her, this is just a hiding place. A temporary arrangement. They then split up and he's on an island. It's not terrible but not as sweet as what it could be. His hands are then tied as he finds he's in love with this person and has got to have her back. He then does what ever he can to get her back. Spends all his money, souls trembling. The last line of the song then states, "give me some of that hiding place". Trying to get back to where they were before he ruined it.
