I really feel strongly that this song is about the end of the world and Jesus coming back to take his followers back up to heaven with him. When he says
"Outside, somebody's outside
Somebody's knockin' at the door
There's a black car parked on the side of the road
Don't go to the door
Don't go to the door
I'm going out
I'm going outside, mother
I'm going out there "
I think he means that God is waiting for you to come to him and put your life into his hands, but that he won't force you, and that he is going, to give his life to Christ, even though he's scared. He knows that Jesus will be coming back for him, and he wants to let the whole world know how happy he is with Jesus by his side.
Somewhere in here, I also think there's a darker, more depressed meaning, but I'm too afraid to look. :P

Yeah, nothing as simplistic as believing in fairies, it's about his (Bono's) mother's funeral.
