"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

I'd say a going classic that seems to hit all those topics is "Cat's in the cradle." Other honorable mentions are "I'm Tryin'", "Count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums", and "Freedom of choice."
