honestly, i think this song is more about abuse. speak to me low? thats kind of like speaking 'down' to someone. low...down. yea. most abusive relationships involve the abuser telling the victim what to wear, how to act, who to be...aka 'Tell me things you want me to know.' the narrator stays with the person to cling to how it used to be. how they used to love her. the narrators at a crossroads. shes in love, but shes scared of her love. shes scared of him coming home and hitting her, abusing her, etc. so she hangs out the window and her final decision seems friendly, nice, peaceful to her. she imagines him coming home and finding the body and being upset because now he has to deal with the body. but everything will be ok because now he cant hurt her.
i think its more about a long distance relationship that's fallen apart, but they still love each other
"scared of the feeling of you coming home"
either because, it will hurt to see them when it isnt the same anymore
or because they will just leave again
and the telephone wires, the fact that her relationship with this girl (presumably, since mirah is in fact openly gay) has diminished to something that is restricted to talking on the phone
