As has been mentioned Over My Head was supposedly written not long after the Heroes... tour. She probably didn't know Lindsey when it was initially roughed out or if she did then it was just after LB+SN joined the band.
'But every day you hurt my pride'
That doesn't sound like it would be about somebody you've only known for a short time. It does sound like its about a (sometimes) abusive, alcoholic spouse towards the end of a relationship.
'Your mood is like a circus wheel, you're changing all the time. Sometimes I cant help but feel, that I'm wasting all of my time'.
That also sounds like its directed towards a (sometimes) abusive, alcoholic spouse towards the end of a relationship.
Christine might have alluded to the song being written about Lindsey.... but it just wasn't. Either she was genuinely confusing the song with another song (and I don't doubt she could have written something else about him later on) or she's just flat out getting senile.
