Well mind huntress...that is one great analysis of this song! Not quite what I take the meaning to be but after reading it and seeing all the time and effort put in I just had to reply...great job!
Ive been listening to this song since the late 80's and Ive always wondered just who Trevor Tanner was singing about in that song.
My take is that it's about a guy and a girl celebrating some special day, Maybe a birthday, an anniversary or something. I think this couple has been together for a while and that the singer is taking a ttrip down memory lane.
He's remembering when they met, the good times and the bad times, the child or children they might have had together and the crap that people talk during the course of one's life. In short, it's a song about a guy remembering his life with the one he loves...
MH, Great analysis!
Lots of thinking went into that...

I always thought it was sung from the perspective of someone who loved her once, long ago.

He is remembering back on this lively and lovely girl he once loved.
She had the pick of boys & the one she chose wasn't him, but she made her choice.

Now she's settled into a marriage and a child with her chosen mate.
It isn't the perfect life she dreamed it would be.

There are lies and skeletons. Its the talk of the town.
Her peers snicker about it. They stick the knife in,...
There are lies and skeletons. Its the talk of the town.
Her peers snicker about it. They stick the knife in, making jabs...
There is an implication that she had turned into something other than the Honey she used to be.
Its possibly made her old, hard-used, jaded, hardened or bitter...
Something no longer attractive.
But she finds A Way to get by.
She is strong & gets through it for Family Honour.
To keep up appearances.
But the singer looks at her now as if to say,
"You were so much more. You should have chosen me.
You might have had a better life, but this was your choice."

Finally, he says "Thats fine" as he walks Away.
