"I met the first guy
Who said "I'll always remember this night, Jane"
When I brought cigarettes home on a whim
It was really him
And all of us other guys
Who've said it since then
Well we've been trying to mean it as sincerely as he did"
this makes it seem like it is about a girl named jane who he is inlove with but her past with other men, makes there love seem less important.
but this idea does not really suit the rest of the song,
the rest of the song seems to be about him on a bridge watching a women walk by with a dog, but then the woman goes missing and he later finds the leash, could be refernce to that women jumping off the bridge or dying another way i am not sure
