For no special reason
I am leaving you for awhile tonight
I'm flying far above you
Still I love you
You make things right
STEVIE'S LEAVING LINDSEY(IN HER MIND).JUST DRIFTING OFF INTO THE SUBCONSCIOUS,SOMETHING SHE'S FAIRLY GOOD AT DOING.I THINK HER SAYING THERE'S "NO SPECIAL REASON" IS SOME FORM OF FREEDOM BECAUSE IN HER MIND WAS REALLY THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN LEAVE HIM BECAUSE SHE WAS SO ATTACHED AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT HE WAS JUST A TAD POSSESSIVE OF HER.THOSE FINAL TWO LINES ARE JUST THE THINGS TO SAY TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE TO REASSURE THEM OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP.LINDSEY DOES "MAKE THINGS RIGHT'"- HE KNOWS HOW TO INTERPRET HER MUSIC AND I'M SURE SHE FELT AT TIMES THAT HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD UNDERSTAND HER AND HER WORRIES-THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THINGS WHILE LIVING WITH EACHOTHER.THE OTHER THING WAS THAT THEY WERE "LOVERS" SO I'M SURE HE MADE THINGS RIGHT......
I've been with you before
I'll be with you again
I'll come back for more..Yeah
The story has a strange ending
Oh..Oh..Yeah..
BACK TO THE WHOLE "LOVERS" THING.SHE'S NOW TELLING HIM THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE FLOATS OFF IN HER MIND THAT SHE'LL BE THERE,SHE WANTS TO BE THERE.THE FIRST THREE LINES I BELIEVE ARE IN REFERENCE TO BOTH THEIR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP.NO MATTER HOW BAD IT GETS BETWEEN THEM EMOTIONALLY SHE TELLS HIM "I'LL COME BACK FOR MORE" AND THAT "STORY HAS A STRANGE ENDING" BECAUSE NORMALLY PEOPLE DON'T SLEEP TOGETHER IF THEY CAN'T HAVE A CIVIL CONVERSATION-THEY SEEMED TO GET OVER THAT OFTEN....."OH OH YEAH" BASICALLY AN "I DON'T MIND" (AND GOSH WHO WOULD-HE'S SUCH A HOTTIE)
Well, you know me
I'm a nomad
I can't feel bad
About the way I am
I've been rolling around
My whole life
HER TELLING LINDSEY THAT " YOU KNOW ME" MAY BE IN SOME FORM A REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT HE DOESN'T AS MUCH AS SHE'D LIKE HIM TO BECAUSE IF HE DID KNOW HER THEN SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL HIM WHAT SHE IS OR SAY "I CAN'T FEEL BAD" EVEN THOUGH SHE DOES FEEL GUILTY ABOUT DOING WHAT SHE HAS TO DO IN HER MIND TO COMPENSATE WHAT SHE CAN'T DO IN REAL-LIFE WHICH IS LEAVE HIM.THE LAST 3 LINES ARE REFERENCE TO ALL THE MOVING SHE HAD TO DO BECAUSE OF HER FATHERS JOBS,BUT ALSO REFERENCE TO HER "SPACINESS"
You're my candle bright
In the window
You guide me back again
And I come when you shine
SHE'S TELLING HIM THAT "YOUR MY EVERYTHING" AND "YOU MAKE EVERYTHING OK".WHEN SHE DRIFTS TO FAR OF INTO NONREALITY HE'S ALWAYS THERE TO GIVE HER A GOOD REASON TO COME BACK;HIM BEING THE LESS SPACEY,MORE GROUNDED ONE THAT HE IS...HE "SHINES" WHEN THEY ARE GETTING ALONG AND WHEN HE WANTS TO GET INTIMATE
You are not my friend..No
But I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
WELL THEY WERE NEVER REALLY FRIENDS TILL RECENTLY BUT THEY WERE ALWAYS LOVERS,I'M SURE IT WAS BETTER WHEN THEY WERE GETTING ALONG BUT AGAIN THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND THAT MUCH.STEVIE'S "SOMETHING OF A DREAMER" BECAUSE OF HOW SHE FLOATS OFF IN HER OWN MIND AND BECAUSE SHE "DREAMS" THAT HER AND HIM WILL GET ALONG BETTER,MAKE IT IN THE MUSIC BIZ------AND THAT THE RELATIONSHIP WOULD SOMEHOW WORK OUT
THIS WAS FUN TO INTERPRET-NICE PICK KRISTIN!!!
LOL

Hey ALEX!! I loved reading your interpretation....always do!!
So, thanks
I really like your thoughts on this one too. I think it is about her and Lindsey, if only because of the time period it was written in. It makes perfect sense. I especially liked your last paragraph, saying how Stevie and Lindsey's relationship was never really a "true friendship" until recently, because it was always shadowed by their careers and their physical relationship, and the complications that resulted...but that Stevie always "dreamed" it would get better....and it did
I think a lot of Stevie's writing foresees the future, and I think this is defenitely one of those, because if this was written during the B/N era, then once again, she was foreseeing their break-up, and foreseeing the eventual friendship that would result. Maybe by putting this on TISL, she is sort of finishing the cycle again by saying, "Hey, look, I was right in my dreaming, we did make it and we are friends in the end", sort of like long-term closure....lol. Anyway, cool interpretation! Now I'm going to give it a whirl
