It's like Silver Springs. That also sounds like the man left the woman. I think these songs are inspired by Stevie and Lindsey but not a literal reflection of what really transpired in their relationship.

Of course, I think the relationship had a lot of different breaks and endings, so it wasn't always the same person leaving.
