I've got to agree with Badge; this song could refer to a number of small, distinct situations.
What I've personally got going on in my mind is that there's this guy who's too closed up in himself, too depressed, to take normal invitations of friendship from people and socialize with them. He picks up the phone with "concrete hands"- hands that are afraid to move- and receives an invitation to come out of his hovel; except he's too afraid of the consequences and too distrustful to follow through on this.
"a couple of words that hid a crime" could simply be deception. words that he doesn't trust.
Upon reading the other comments, I think it's probably just about his girlfriend breaking up with him.
But, I wanted to write that down because it's the first thing that came to my mind upon hearing the song. go figure.
