He certainly did earn that reputation.
One two, one two three
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there's nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
When the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
But I won't give up
And I won't give in
And I know it's tough
But I ain't a win
And I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
What I've got to do
What I've got to see
It was only you, and it was only me
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
And I Know that it's hard
And the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there's nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
When the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
But I won't give up
And I won't give in
And I know it's tough
But I ain't a win
And I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you

Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

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?

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Also, I could swear they sing "and I can't bleed anymore for you" on some occasions.
