I love the imagery in this tune. I always picture his house surrounded, as you would expect cops to surround a house with a dangerous person inside. But, that's not what I feel the song is about. It's more like all the things he's been hiding from someone or everyone suddenly hit him as being wrong and he's desperately hopeless to correct them. He steps out on the porch and basically just breaks down and starts crying. That's how I imagine it.
