These first two lines tell me that the man the woman (girl) married had anger issues she never knew about before she married him. He kept them well hidden.
"your rube is young and handsome,
so new to your bedroom floor,"--> The second line especially...just says to me she's been beaten by this man she never thought would do that to her, so she's shocked and "new" to the situation.
i've loved so many times and I've drowned them all.
from their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls.
with their bones they'll scratch the window, I hear them call,
"don't know what you asked for"
"don't know what you asked for" "--> This part of the song however...I think is not necessarily attached to the storyline, but rather Jeff going over his own past failed relationships. Because he wasn't satisfied with them? I'm not sure, but that's the vibe I get from the line "don't know what you asked for."
Anyways...that's just my interpretation.

Well, I just listened to this song today...and I was just lying on my bed with the music in my ears, reading along with the CD booklet and my first thoughts about what this song could possibly mean is that it's about some sort of abusive relationship.
"beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men.
secret compartments hide all of the skeletons."--> These first two lines tell me that the man the woman (girl) married had anger issues she never knew about before she married him. He kept them well hidden.
