Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
All alone in your dirty chair
Washin' all your dirty hair
Wonderin' how long till they come for you
Watch the lines form on your face
Down the block all the people chase
Just what you were after before this happened to you
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you
And let you fly to the angels
And if I could be your pain, I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
Would it be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
Make the plans to fall in place
Only to fall behind in the race
And you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off
And your roller coaster climbs the hill
Up and down, it sure does feel
A bit too much, are you ready to get off?
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you
And let you fly like an angels
And if I could be your pain, I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
Would it be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
And I
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you
And let you fly like an angels
And if I could be your pain, I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
Would it be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
Washin' all your dirty hair
Wonderin' how long till they come for you
Watch the lines form on your face
Down the block all the people chase
Just what you were after before this happened to you
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you
And let you fly to the angels
And if I could be your pain, I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
Would it be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
Make the plans to fall in place
Only to fall behind in the race
And you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off
And your roller coaster climbs the hill
Up and down, it sure does feel
A bit too much, are you ready to get off?
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you
And let you fly like an angels
And if I could be your pain, I'd run from you so far away
And if I could turn the time back just one day
Would it be enough to say
All the things I never said to you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
And I
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you

What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't show will kill you

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?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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”

@[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.
All I know is, it's about cancer.
