Well I think most things have been said but this song means the world to me too Becky. And after just coming off a break up myself I think I can help...
Stevie is saying in this song what could have been but what wasn't. It never happened, it never followed through and those are the worst kind of relationships as it's hard to move on, no closure. She loved Lindsey (we know it's about him) but she isn't quite sure how he feels or how their feelings have evolved. She feels he loved her, but she says "she doesn't want to know" - cause the truth hurts and she'd rather feel he did and that they did love each other than hear him say he doesn't anymore. "I said I loved you years ago - I tell myself you never loved me - NO."
She knows she could have given him so much but he wouldn't let her in her eyes. (Kind of the opposition to GYOW - If I could baby I'd give you my world?) I think they both wanted to give so much and felt that something got in the way of that and their relationship never got to closure - why it took years for closure to occur.
She knows in her heart he will never, ever forget her. He will hear her on the radio (as she's stated) and it will haunt him. He will never completely get over her - she warns him.
I read somewhere the blue-green colors flashing were the road signs and lights on the way to Silver Spring MD when they were on tour on a bus. I also feel blue-green could be Lindsey's eyes. The way they sparkled.
Beautiful song and I know you will do it justice Becky. Sad song too. I think we all have a Silver Spring!
