the window washer is contemplating suicide. it'd be so easy, but he doesn't want to die. He likes life, just not his life. He'd "gladly swap places" with the business men in the building. in last verse, the window represents his life. living a life, "creating," is art, and "just erasing" would not be a feat or accomplishment, but a work of art destroyed.
