Agreed: This is clearly about giving up and moving on, but I think it's safe to assume that after 30+ years, he's not so fixated on Ms. Nicks as many fans want to believe. Based on some somewhat ambiguous chatter by Buckingham when I saw him play live, I suspect this has more to do with settling in to a satisfying but low-profile solo career rather than being a major solo star, and finding it makes a better life. It's probably best left ambiguous.

I think drummerboy8044 was speculating based on comments Lindsey has made about this song - it was written while on tour with Fleetwood Mac in 2003 & he had an argument with his wife about priorities as she was leaving the tour to go home...Lindsey said that it was about making the right decision and setting things straight and to do that he had to give up on his muse. We can only think of Stevie when words like muse are thrown around. The idea that it's about his wife finally making him choose seems accurate.

It is definitely about Stevie. He says in an interview that the song was about prioritizing, trying to do the right thing- but that he didn't end up doing it because it would mean giving up his muse.
