Despite the fact that it's hidden away on Machina II I think this is one of the Pumpkins' best songs - there are many of course!
To me it's about someone who has found themself alone but is searching for love - whether it be romantic or perhaps a Christian idea of love - to give themself some meaning. The idea of home also suggests that the song is about returning to, or recapturing something, that you used to have/have lost. It also evokes a feeling of content, if 'weary', acceptance.
To announce that 'Love is everything I want' is an incredibly honest statement and Billy sings the song in a way that really brings out the different emotions mentioned.
