Matthews described this song as being about "the worship of women," albeit from a voyeur's perspective, and subsequently does a humorous impression of the woman being watched through the window complaining to the police. He ends by saying that he wrote this song instead of getting arrested.

I thought it was about dumping raw sewage onto a tour boat.

This was written from the point of view from a boyfriend who wants his girlfriend back. In the song he says "I watch you there through the window," which is basically saying that he's watching and looking at how beautiful she is.

No, that is not what the song is about.

Not in the least. "I interpret the meaning of this song as one about a lost love, perhaps as some of you suggested, a love for an older woman that is unattainable. The sadness, however, is opposed by an appreciation of yearning. Although that yearning is not satisfied, the experience itself is beautiful. We often dream and fantasize about things that are unrealistic and irrational. Although some dreams are too out of the question to be realized, we do simply smile upon the contemplation of attaining that dream. For those short half hours of dreaming, we are in a different world without any societal constraints or barriers, and have an experience like no other. Of course, when we do wake, we are saddened by the fact that it was just a dream, and not reality."
