Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you, oh
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
I don't care what they think
I don't care what they say
What do they know about this love
Anyway
Come, come to my window
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'll be home
I am coming home
Come to my window, oh-ho
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
I'll be home, I'll be home
I am coming home
Come to my window, oh ho
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'll be home
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you, oh
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
I don't care what they think
I don't care what they say
What do they know about this love
Anyway
Come, come to my window
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'll be home
I am coming home
Come to my window, oh-ho
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window, I'll be home soon
I'll be home, I'll be home
I am coming home
Come to my window, oh ho
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'll be home

its prety obvious.
she has fallen deeply in love with somebody that is really not accepted my some people.
thats how i take the whole some to my window thing.
crawl inside/ wait by the light of the moon
is kinda like she has to kinda kepp this a secret.
but then i dont care what they think/ i dont care what they say/ what do they abou this love anyway.
is talking about the fact that she is involved in a lesbain relationship
She's saying she doesn't care what straight society thinks anymore and they'll never understand anyway so F them. It was very powerful lyrics for it's time.
Anyways, until maybe three years ago I honestly did not even know that Melissa Etheridge was a lesbian (super conservative parents, sheltered life, etc. etc.) but I had heard this song and to me it is and always has been about forbidden love. Apparently she claims that it's not but the verse "I don't care what they think. I don't care what they say. What do they know about this love anyway?" Always struck me as she was in love with someone that was frowned upon. This does not necessarily mean a lesbian relationship (though in this scenario with Melissa Etheridge I suppose that is the case) or a male-male relationship but any relationship that may be considered taboo (Depending on who's watching and where in the country mixed race, mixed economic background, I think there are still places where you can find families that are feuding with children in Romeo and Juliet type scenarios, etc).
