About a man who meets a woman in his youth and really becomes infatuated with her, only to find out that she's actually a prostitute. He doesn't want to believe it, because he really cares about her, but he comes to learn it's the truth, yet he still has feelings for her regardless.
A song about a guy who's talking to a girl (metaphorically) and wondering what if he met her before her current man met her. Would they be happy? Would she be happier? Would it work? From the guy's perspective, he's pretty sure he'd make her happier than her current man.
About a girl so gorgeous and caring that the guy falls in love with her, to the point he thinks they're destined to be together, and also the point that everything he experiences in life, he starts to believe it's a sign they're supposed to be together, or else why would those things be happening. A pretty one-sided, lovelorn story. Though he still understands that he might not be right for her, and just wants her to be happy.
About a guy who goes out every day to find a mourning dove singing a sad song in his yard, but the guy has grown used to sitting out there and singing with the bird like they're friends.
