It's interesting how Jon and Richie see different characters in the songs. Jon has said about Prayer that it was about a couple he knew in high school. The guy got a baseball (or some sport) scholarship to college, but the girl who's real name was Antoinette got pregnant and he gave up the scholarship to marry her and raise the baby.

Jon has said IBTFY was about Dorothea.
