Forgive my attempts to conjugate, but it basically seems to switch between:

1) Third Person Past
2) Third-Person Perfect (or Present) (or Future??)
3) Second-Person Present where "You" is EITHER
....a) Lindsey OR
....b) Stevie

So it's a total of four different tenses in one song. ... and yes it's beautiful

Quote:
THIRD-PERSON PAST
HE fell for her again, SHE watched it happen
Every day, day by day
But more important, night by night
SHE watched it all come into play
HE held her hands, SHE listened to what HE had to say

THIRD-PERSON PERFECT(?)
Thrown down, like a barricade
Maybe now HE could prove to her
That HE could be good for HER
And they should be together

SECOND-PERSON PRESENT - LINDSEY
YOU (Lindsey)'ve shaken your faith in ME, no
YOU (Lindsey)'ve shaken my faith in everything else
A decision no one makes, and now YOU (Lindsey)'RE going home
Faith is a hard thing to hold on to
Something inside YOU says I don't have to
YOU (Lindsey)'re not like other people, YOU (Lindsey) do what YOU (Lindsey) want to
YOU (Lindsey)'re not like other people, YOU (Lindsey) do what YOU (Lindsey) want to

THIRD-PERSON PERFECT(?)
Thrown down, like a barricade
Maybe now HE could prove to HER
That HE could be good for HER
And they should be together

SECOND-PERSON PRESENT - STEVIE
YOU (Stevie) say YOU (Stevie)'re sorry
Now YOU (Stevie) should walk away
But it's so overwhelming,
YOU (Stevie) have nothing left to say
YOU (Stevie) can sit outside his door and wait
Well, YOU (Stevie) can dedicate your pain to him

THIRD-PERSON PERFECT(?)
Oh, thrown down, like a barricade
Maybe now HE could prove to HER
That HER could be good for HER
And they should be together
About just how much HER never really told HER
Thrown down,
About how difficult it had been to be without HER
Thrown down

Imagine paying $1000 to hear "Don't Dream It's Over" instead of "Go Your Own Way"

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
