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?
It never seems enough baby
When your head is full of stuff
Then again you didn't go
And thank god you didn't though
What's it gonna take baby
For two of us to make it
Through this one
Can we make it through this song?
Everything between us makes me glow
But how could you know?
Simple things bring simple pleasures
That we know
Or maybe they didn't show
2 used 2 means 2 hearts 2 please
2 you 2 me 2 make totally
2 mouths 2 closed 2 make all of those
2 hearts 2 believe 2 love openly
Do you really wanna wait another day?
Cause everybody needs a little time to pay
And after when the time is up
Everybody doesn't always get their say
Feels like a little price to pay
Then after we laugh it up
Everything about us makes me grow
But how would you know?
Simple things bring simple pleasures
That we know
Baby its time to show
2 used 2 means 2 hearts 2 please
2 you's 2 me's 2 make totally
2 mouths 2 closed 2 make all of those
2 hearts 2 believe 2 love openly
Your the must have
Your the part I'm in your palm
Love freely so really
There's a call
Where's it from?
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
2 used 2 means 2 hearts 2 please
2 you's 2 me's 2 make totally
2 mouths 2 closed 2 make all of those
2 hearts 2 believe 2 love openly x2
When your head is full of stuff

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.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

@[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.

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.
such a good song. it always makes me cry, the lyrics are so sad. 'everything between us makes me glow but how could you know?' and 'everything about us makes me grow but how would you know?' have to be my two favourite lines. its about a relationship that doesn't seem to be working or just hasn't started yet basically about all complications. sigh.
it's beautiful!!^^
yay this song finally has comments. this is probably my favourite song from their album. go the sugababes!
For me this song is about a girl.. how is in love with someone But the boy doesn't know it yet..
'But how could you know?'
