Jesus never mentioned any such thing as a church. The church is an invention by Paul to make from people's belief.

In the Jewish exegetical context, interpretation of the Song of Songs is one of the chief ways through which individuals and generations expressed their relationship with the loving God. Despite its being repeatedly tamed in the name of historical and collectivist allegory (the nation of Israel as beloved, etc.), the tremendous passion of the book has remained available to those over the ages who sought to convey such intense love in religious devotion. The Canticle itself, we might say, became the “locked garden” of which it speaks, opening itself to those whose hearts longed to dwell by its streams and to be intoxicated by the spices of its perfumed gardens. Ultimately the Song of Songs comes to represent not merely a single text, but a wide-ranging network of religio-erotic metaphors. The influence of the Canticle on the Zohar and on the Kabbalistic tradition as a whole is not limited to specific comments on that work or quotations from it, although these, too, abound in the Zohar’s pages. It extends into the echoes and allusions mentioned above, into the entire metaphor of sacred courtship and marriage as used to describe the relationship between God and the holy community of his faithful.

The rabbis’ reading of the Song of Songs as a love dialogue between God and Israel makes it the key text for understanding the inner unity of God as the love between male and female. The implication for Jewish faith of this dramatic shift cannot be overstated. The essential relationship that Judaism comes to depict is now an inner divine one. The eros here is not the love and union between God and Israel or God and the soul, but between male and female forces within God. The earthly community of Israel remain God’s partner and beloved people, but now he and they (the Kabbalists in particular) share in the task of restoring cosmic oneness, of bringing the divine male and female face to face with one another. Through this union, lights might shine throughout the universe, and the waters of life might flow through it to nourish and sustain all the worlds below.

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

>You are petros and upon this petra I will build my ekklesia
Which means that Peter is the first small stone put upon the fundation stone (Jesus) on which the Assembly is rebuilt, one small human 'stone' upon another.
They aren't entirely wrong about st Paul, he talked about the Church and those who follows Jesus, whereas Jesus talked about 'his people' instead. It may sound like semantics but Jesus was likely talking about Humanity (his people, everyone) when st Paul is talking only about the followers of Christ.

Do people read it as a continution of ecclesiastes, that's how I viewed it it's right after and both are attributed to Solomon. I thought it dealt with similar issues.

No, you see, it reflects the deep archetypal truth of the renewal of nature after the action of men. Women symbolise the earth and the natural world in general, the image of a young sister represents how nature has been reborn after the action of man. Hence why it is related as a sibling.
The fact that her breast has not yet grown shows she isn't ready to bear the role of mother nature yet and must be still be guided.The passage is basically about God giving the reign of the natural world to man until he takes back control, prophesying the second coming.
