If you listen to this song in conjunction with "You" you'll see an almost perfect correlation between meanings
(EX:)
"I was thinking about telling you
I was in love
I was in love with her" --Photographs and Gasoline
and
"I was thinking about telling you
I was in love
I was in love with you" --You
Between these 2 songs I see the story of a guy who may have either cheated on a girl with someone else, or might have dumped one girl in favor of another (Photographs and Gasoline) and then realizes he's made a mistake and is trying to remedy his ways and get back with the one he truly loves (You)
