He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you, oh-oh
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you, oh-oh
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something

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?

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
First of, please excuse if my English is not well written.
I believe every song has its own story to tell and this song does relate to some of the lines from the novel I'm writing on - still processing -
I've fallen for you and we fallen for each other, we share our thoughts, we share our pain and laughter. You were a friend who I believe would be my lover, but when we speak of it, you wish to speak no further.
But everywhere you go, I would follow you. But will you follow me to? Should I give up because really I don't want to, but only to know that you have another (person).
It's inside my mind, its inside my heart, it won't go away because I don't want to let go. I stumble and I fall, but how can I not? Questions you ask because you were feeling uncertain, but how am I to explain when I'm only starting to learn.
This is getting out of hands, we fallen more for each other but you won't speak, you won't talk. Should I stay or should I leave? Why are my questions being play, ignore as if its not important. Isn't it obvious, I'm here and what does it tell you? Why wouldn't you speak? Would you want me to just give up? Because slowly I'm starting to..give up on you..
People start to wonder, people start to question. How I treat you and how you treat me more, bringing me closer. But you begin to silence everytime question begin to arise. So this is it, this is the final. Let me be the one to walk, let me be the one to go. You're the one that I love, but why goodbye is the only answer...
You hold my hands, you hold me tighter, only when I start to walk further. Tell me really, what feelings you have, inside of your heart is it me or is it another? Because slowly I'm starting to give up on you.
This is just some lines I pulled out of my novel ('More than"), its not in my journal because I jump the chapter and the part further in my current entry to see first how people might like my story. If you do like it do comment and maybe one day I will start from Part 1 of Chapter 1. Thanks in advance.
Much love.
