I didn't interpret this as being metaphorical. I think he spends the night with the prostitute not because he's horny, but because he's lonely.
"and now outside you see the waves in her eyes
and I, I won't mind what you decide to swear by"
"and now outside I see your eyes meet the sky
and I, I don't mind what you decide to swear by"
These lines seem to depict a certain sense of admiration because he finds this woman to be beautiful. When he says, "I don't mind what you decide to swear by," he is saying that he doesn't care what she thinks. Even if to her, he is just another customer, his experience is much deeper than that.
"and I, I won't lie, I kept you here tonight"
This line could mean a couple different things. For one, it could be his admission that although he feels a connection with her, she has no reason to be with him tonight besides money. But the way I first thought of it was that she stayed the whole night. She was going to leave to either go to sleep or find another customer or whatever prostitutes do, but he wanted to sleep with her. And I mean, actually sleep. After the sex. He wants this because he feels alone and being with a beautiful woman, he feels connected to someone. And it's important to him. He loves this woman. And not in the way that you love a friend or girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse or family member. It's just a sort of adoration and thankfulness for making him feel less alone, if only for the night.
This was a great interpretation with a very beautiful and human feel to it. Just thinking about this idea while listening to the song feels right, kudos.

"We believed her then"
I think it implies something of a profound loneliness in which one becomes very aware and converses with the "self". The 'we' is rhetorical. There is this void within one's self that echoes only one's thoughts. The very depths of despair. And he sought a prostitute believing it would cure what ails him.

"and now outside you see the waves in her eyes"
She is what he had hoped she was and he is reminded of her
"and now outside you see the waves in her eyes"

"and now outside, I see your eyes meet the sky"
And he...
"and now outside, I see your eyes meet the sky"
And he is filled with hope
"and I, I won't lie, I kept you here tonight"
He acknowledges his actions .
