I'm going all "shipper" tonight on ya, folks. I apologize.

For What It's Worth

I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew,
but no one said a word
It was contagious

Stevie is reminiscing The Dance tour and the return of Fleetwood Mac. She got to experience the huge, sold out crowds again and the excitement of the early years. She also rekindled her romance with Lindsey.

Looked out the window, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was, you saved my life
I won't forget it

Someone told me a while ago that Lindsey talked to Jess, Stevie's dad, in '93 about Stevie's addiction and this was a factor that led up to Stevie entering rehab. I think that is what she is referencing here.

You said, "Even if I left my girlfriend,
Packed up my stuff, loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what its worth"

And here's where Kristen comes in.

I got to love, I rode the rails
You came with me because you cared
I was broke and I was scared
You held my hand, took away my fear
We knew it couldn't last, that was hard
Looked out the window, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was, you saved my life
I won't forget it

You said, "Even if I left my girlfriend,
Packed up my stuff, loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what its worth"
I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew, It was contagious

Looked out the window, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was, you saved my life
I won't forget it

You said, "Even if I left my girlfriend,
Packed up my stuff, loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what its worth

(repeat)

For what its worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

I think at the time, all Stevie had was anger towards the situation ("Fall From Grace") and now she's telling Lindsey, though she was hurt, she understands now. You can't walk away from committments, even if you want to. And he saved her life. How could she ever forget that? "For what it's worth". .. it's 14 years later, but here's her own little apology in a way.
