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?
Your words they never spoke so clear to me
The way they did that day
I always dreamed we'd be forever
I always thought it'd be ok
I took for granted all you gave me
I never thought you'd go away
Was this not love that we were sharing
I thought love never went away
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to
I see now this is where our story ends
So just move on I'm told
Today I loved someone for three years
Tomorrow learn to just let go
To have your best friend always be there
Then one day to see her go
My world is falling all around me
And girl your all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on
And on and on I've tried to
Let go
My mind can not forget you
You're all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on
The way they did that day
I always dreamed we'd be forever
I always thought it'd be ok
I took for granted all you gave me
I never thought you'd go away
Was this not love that we were sharing
I thought love never went away
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to
I see now this is where our story ends
So just move on I'm told
Today I loved someone for three years
Tomorrow learn to just let go
To have your best friend always be there
Then one day to see her go
My world is falling all around me
And girl your all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on
And on and on I've tried to
Let go
My mind can not forget you
You're all I know
Say goodbye to memories
'Cause I have said so long
Say goodbye to all our dreams
It's time now to move on

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
To have your best friend always be there then one day to see her go how well its funny(?) all around me and girl your all i know
i think the 3rd line goes "how well its falling all around me"
thanks, i couldnt make it out, and i didnt want to leave it blank, yep
so this song is pretty sweet
i thought it was, my world is a falling around me.
but the song seems sort of obvious. like the title 'move on'. both people are trying to move on from a past relationship. He thought things were going fine and she just said something and ended it for whatever reason. and it's all about him saying how he's over it and it's time they both move on (but he's just saying that)
Say goodbye to memories Cause I have said so long Say goodbye to all our dreams It's time now to move on
he's trying to tell her that he's moved on and all that.
but then heree --->And on and on I've tried to Let go My mind can not forget you You're all I know
he's saying how there were just so many memories and he's tried so hard but he just can't forget her. but at the end of the song he decides its time to actually move on.

wow y are there like no comments? This song is amazing! i agree with musicx3...this song is all about a relationship where the guy thought everything was going smoothly and the girl just broke it off. I think it's also about that feeling when someone you thought you loved has hurt you, and every sane rational part of your being is telling u to move on. At the same time though, for some reason you just can't let go. I love the line "Today I loved someone for three years, tomorrow just let go" because it basically defines the whole song. She wants him to be able to just get over it instantly, the way she's seemed to, but to him it's just ridiculous that he can go from having so much to having nothing so quickly
i agree with the meanings already posted. and i love this song so much, because i had the cd for awhile, but last summer my boyfriend of over a year just broke it off suddenly and told me he was over it, and i was devastated. i remembered hearing this song on the cd and went back and listened, and it totally felt like it was made for me.
i know what the song is about and more importantly who.I know these guys and I'm friends with the singers ex. they were young loves and he kind of more or less,screwed up.
this song could apply to a close freindship, between a guy and a girl, gone sour
