Behind the House Lyrics

The line "Or is this your way to tell me / that I could've save you" to me implies a huge sense of guilt and failure. She failed to save someone from death or something else, here symbolized by the burning of the house. The line "Tonight I woke up crying in the lane behind the house" is the perfect opener. I love this song.
