I guess it's possible. just seems a bit unlikely. To me, his moods and intensity seem more likely to have made an imprint on her as more time went by and she had more opportunities to see it/deal with it firsthand.

My theory to reconcile the two narratives is that the negative parts ("wasting my time") were primarily about (alcoholic) John, while the positive parts ("sure feels nice") were about this handsome and creative new man who had just joined her band. But considering how many countless hours of studio time Chris must have shared with Lindsey the brooding perfectionist, I don't see it taking long for the song to start applying wholly to Lindsey in Chris' mind.
