He certainly did earn that reputation.
The drops of rain they fall all over
This awkward silence makes me crazy
The glow inside burns light upon her
I'll try to kiss you if you let me
(This can't be the end)
Tidal waves they
Rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn
Cold and sad
Pick me up now
I need you so bad
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
(You did this)
Tidal waves they
Rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn
Cold and sad
Pick me up now
I need you so bad
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
This awkward silence makes me crazy
The glow inside burns light upon her
I'll try to kiss you if you let me
(This can't be the end)
Tidal waves they
Rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn
Cold and sad
Pick me up now
I need you so bad
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
Your vows of silence fall all over
The look in your eyes makes me crazy
I feel the darkness break upon her
I'll take you over if you let me
(You did this)
Tidal waves they
Rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn
Cold and sad
Pick me up now
I need you so bad
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It gets me so

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?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

i agree w/ regos on "this can't be the end" because that makes a lot of sense. sometimes i want to do something and before i know it, it's the end and i lost my chance and i think thats what their trying to say....i love this song so much but yet i love all of blink's songs.
