Van Hunt – Priest or Police

• 0
  Song Meaning:silly rabbits...
  
  It's a song to a woman, saying "there's no substitute for her."
  
  Whether she(ANOTHER WOMAN) be priest or police, the first one on the scene is a thief
  I won't believe a word she says
  She won't have your smile(SINGING TO HIS LOVE)
  We can hang for a while, (REFERRING TO HIM AND THE OTHER WOMAN)
  But I know I'll miss you just the same (REGARDLESS OF THE ANOTHER)
  
  E-ro-tic conversation (FROM ANOTHER WOMAN) is no substitute for what you do,
  And what I lose when I'm without you (SING IT VAN HUNT!)
  It's easy to hold back temptation (OOOH BABY)
  My night's getting longer, Igetting stronger and stronger
  Baby don't you worry!
  
  So I returned her gifts, and upset the evening's happiness (WITH THIS OTHER CHICK)
  But it's best...
  I don't wanna lead her on, or give her the wrong idea (BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU)
  I'd much rather be here, with my tears...
  Waiting on your return (BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU)
  
  ...get it now silly rabbits?

    LOL @ songqueesn!
    
    I agree with your interpretation and don't see it as a love lost. I think that circumstances just have them apart at the moment as in long distance love. He's missing her and waiting patiently for her to return!

  General Comment:In this song, I believe that he is saying that while their relationship may be over for now, he is telling her that he will be there waiting for her to come back. I love the whole idea of the "first one on the scene" being a thief. By saying that, and by adding the line about them "hanging for a while, but him knowing he'll miss his ex-love just the same" he is kind of addressing the rebound situation. It's like, sure she (the next one on the scene) may be great, but the person he wants to be with is the love of his life. So he waits... and it's not that much of a happy time, hence the "with my tears, waiting on your return." In fact, there is no indication whether she will actually return to him... BUT, he loves her so much that he will be there if (or when) she realizes that she loves him too... so sweet! I hope she does come back :)
