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 my leisure suite
Quit talking
Just talking
Please
In my leisure suite
Sometimes
I feel the room surround me
With possibility
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Build fires to stoke them
Let's fix what's been broken
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
No words have been stolen
But silence is golden
In my leisure suite
Just a place to meet
We can press repeat
And do what we do when we're there
Don't come knocking
This doors for locking
Have you got the key?
In my leisure suite
Hang up your jacket
Undo my back zip
Please
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Moonlight on blanket
It's great when your backlit
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Features in close-up
The moment we woke up
In my leisure suite
Just a place to meet
We can press repeat
And do what we do when we're there
In our leisure suite
Come lie next to me
We can be complete
And do what we do when we're there
In my leisure suite
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
In my leisure suite
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Quit talking
Just talking
Please
In my leisure suite
Sometimes
I feel the room surround me
With possibility
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Build fires to stoke them
Let's fix what's been broken
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
No words have been stolen
But silence is golden
In my leisure suite
Just a place to meet
We can press repeat
And do what we do when we're there
Don't come knocking
This doors for locking
Have you got the key?
In my leisure suite
Hang up your jacket
Undo my back zip
Please
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Moonlight on blanket
It's great when your backlit
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Features in close-up
The moment we woke up
In my leisure suite
Just a place to meet
We can press repeat
And do what we do when we're there
In our leisure suite
Come lie next to me
We can be complete
And do what we do when we're there
In my leisure suite
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
In my leisure suite
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Ah ah, ah ah, ah
Ah ah, ah ah, ah

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate

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.
baby making music.
