Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
My name's max, but you can call me saxy
My sweater's wooly, my lips are camexy
Weekends are so much fun when I'm alone
Give me a call, I'll be sitting by the phone.
(Playing boggle!) (Hey, boggle is cool!)
You can be my number one
I'll be your number two
(She's gonna dump you!) (Harsh!)
She doesn't exist. She's not on the list.
She isn't real. She's intangibeal.
I-n-t-a-n-g-i-b-e-a-l!
Baby, if you're alone on a saturday night
Come on down, under the big bluelight
You'll see a sticker on my heart
saying for sale exclusively at Kmart
You'll like what you see without a doubt
Come on down and I'll check you out!
She doesn't exist. She's not on the list.
She isn't real. She's intangibeal.
I-n-t-a-n-g-i-b-e-a-l!
I haven't had a girlfriend in a while
And I really like your smile
I'll let you check out these pipes
(Holy cripes!)
She doesn't exist. She's not on the list.
She isn't real. She's intangibeal.
I-n-t-a-n-g-i-b-e-a-l!
Something's wrong
I shouldn't be singing this song
I actually have a girl
Unlike these losers

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Holy Cripes! This song rocks and so does the band. The Mythical Beasts are way better than all those other teen idol bands, and much much more attractive. These studs rockers seriously rock and roll despite less than outstanding live performances. Why must they play with my heart so?!?!?!?!?
