The taxi driver in this song, goes by the title “Cleopatra”. She is depicted as an older woman full of wisdom, who reminisces her life and all of the “what if's” of her life. Many of the passengers she picks up are one of her memories or “what-if” chances she took or could have taken. From the young couple (Sleep on the floor), the pregnant woman (Angela), and the much older lady (My Eyes). Although the song can be interpreted as remorseful, it is more about reflection on the life she has lived and that the path she was on was the one she needed to take. "And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I’ve read this script and the costume fits, so I’ll play my part" Instead of running off with the love of her life, she settles for a different man later on and becomes uhappy, which results in her running away to become a taxi driver. She has one last “what if” of coming back to her sons father so that they can live a happy and full life together, but instead she makes another choice and goes back to her taxi.
