I always thought it was about a woman who couldn't stay tied down. period. She's a gypsy, always moving and changing. It sounds like an apology. "Sorry, but I commit to no one." She is dancing away from you now. She was just a wish. You could never really have her, though she made you think so. Maybe she did fall in love. Maybe she knows this may never happen again(like lightning), but she isn't ready to settle. You only see her like a flick of lightning, then she moves quickly out of your life. She fears nothing. She loves you, but she is no longer a child with all the time in the world for love. I'd really like for someone to comment. I mean, am I the only one who interpreted it this way??
It could be about a man as well. Not a big FM fan, but I've always enjoyed this song's simplicity. On a personal note, just remember that you've always been loved when you were at the top of your game or at the bottom of the series. And nobody can take that knowledge that you are special in your own way away from you. Nobody :)

I agree. Like the 80s version of I'm Like a Bird. But b/c she says it all comes down to you, I think it's her saying if you're the right type of guy, I may stay but if you're not, I'll be out of your life like a gypsy.

To the gypsy
That remains
She faces freedom
With a little fear

I see that as someone who stayed with a decent guy and knows he isn't exactly what she wants, but she fears leaving because she doesn't know if she'll find better.

Well I have no fear
I have only love
But Stevie has no fear and is looking for the "one" to give her love to.
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
Basically she's saying she wants a man. B/c a childish man isn't enough, in general. He's not enough of a man for her to love him, and he's not man enough for her to want to love him. I don't think I've correctly explained the depth of that, but that's the gist of it. I just wanted to show support and help bridge the gaps.
