To me, all songs, like all art are a 'question mark'. There is no one definite interpretation of a song and that's what makes them fascinating and powerful - almost everyone can get something out of a song that reaches to them...
To me it's about God reaching out to someone searching:
"It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead" - the world without God.
"Then I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said"
"I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget" - God saying 'invite me in'
"Come on, come on and there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back"
"So wander down to the ancient hallway, taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line"
"So wander down to the ancient hallway, taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line"
"Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)"
