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?
I've been looking for something sacred,
Running away from the light.
Got a burn all the bridges in my head,
That lead me away from my life.
I question my own existence,
Question the meaning of life.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on
I can't live on
Carry me
Why don't you carry me?
I can't save me,
I am crazy.
Without you.
It takes horns to hold up my halo,
And strength to get through the fight.
Now I'm laying my cards on the table,
Praying that everything will be alright.
I question my own existence,
Question the meaning of life.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on,
I can't live on.
Carry me.
Why don't you carry me?
I can't save me,
I am crazy.
Without you.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't you carry me?
I cant move on,
I cant live on.
Carry me.
Why don't you carry me?
I can't save me,
I am crazy.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it the most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it the most.
Carry me (carry me)
Carry me
Yeah.
Carry me (carry me)
Carry me (carry me)
Running away from the light.
Got a burn all the bridges in my head,
That lead me away from my life.
I question my own existence,
Question the meaning of life.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on
I can't live on
Carry me
Why don't you carry me?
I can't save me,
I am crazy.
Without you.
It takes horns to hold up my halo,
And strength to get through the fight.
Now I'm laying my cards on the table,
Praying that everything will be alright.
I question my own existence,
Question the meaning of life.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on,
I can't live on.
Carry me.
Why don't you carry me?
I can't save me,
I am crazy.
Without you.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't you carry me?
I cant move on,
I cant live on.
Carry me.
Why don't you carry me?
I can't save me,
I am crazy.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it the most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it most.
The hardest ones to love,
Are the ones that need it the most.
Carry me (carry me)
Carry me
Yeah.
Carry me (carry me)
Carry me (carry me)

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
this song is definitely one of the best on this album. "the hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most" true that.
