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?
I made a habit of never making promises
That aren't easy to keep
And there you have it but now I'm making one
That is to keep you here with me
'Cause every second that goes by
I feel it's just a waste of time if I'm not with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are
But it's getting, oh, so hard
To spend these days without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know
That I, I'm taking you with me
And so I'm trying to hold it all together
And make it through the day
When I'm just dying to drop it all and take your hand
So we can run away
From all the miles and the hours
That seem to endlessly devour
The time that I could be with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are
But it's getting, oh, so hard
To spend these days without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know
That I, I'm taking you with me
Every second that goes by
Is one more second off my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm literally dying without you here
And every second that goes by
Is one more second off my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm dying without you here
Yeah, every second that goes by
Yeah, every second that goes by
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know
That I, I'm taking you with me
That aren't easy to keep
And there you have it but now I'm making one
That is to keep you here with me
'Cause every second that goes by
I feel it's just a waste of time if I'm not with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are
But it's getting, oh, so hard
To spend these days without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know
That I, I'm taking you with me
And so I'm trying to hold it all together
And make it through the day
When I'm just dying to drop it all and take your hand
So we can run away
From all the miles and the hours
That seem to endlessly devour
The time that I could be with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are
But it's getting, oh, so hard
To spend these days without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know
That I, I'm taking you with me
Every second that goes by
Is one more second off my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm literally dying without you here
And every second that goes by
Is one more second off my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm dying without you here
Yeah, every second that goes by
Yeah, every second that goes by
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know
That I, I'm taking you with me

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.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I think this song is obviously about God. In the chorus he is talking about "taking you with me" anywhere and everywhere at every moment. How can that be about anyone other than God? My faverite line "if home is where the heart is, then home is where you are" seems like a direct reference to the Bible. It also makes more sense that you would be dying without God that without a girl.
