Hmm. I hear something completely different. It's definitely not "this time I'll stay for good." I'm pretty sure instead it's "all this time I, all this time I stayed for you" and the modulated voice behind it is "well, it shines right through ya." As in, although you're trying, you can't hide what you are really feeling because it shines right out of you, or through you.
But yes, I do think it's about jealousy and regret and either an affair or a near-affair (Where did that flash go? It burned my shadow gray. Where have those five days got to now?) : why did you marry someone else when I know you're in love with me--it shines right through you.
These days are getting longer.
The sun is gonna beat so loud
You know, I think you told me you have a new name now
Where did that flash go?
It burned my shadow gray.

all this time i stayed for you

What else did they show?
You think it's so unlikely
When did the city change me?
Red-skied, my eyes closed
The fire came so slow
(well it shines right through ya)
all this time i
(well it shines right through ya)
