Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
It doesn't matter how I try
The words I say just as fate slips away
Who decides what matters anyway?
And I can tell you every day or night
It carries through every thought and play
I know how I've tried
I know how I've tried
It doesn't matter what I do
The actions don't affect the way she feels
Who can say what motions do conceal?
And I can tell you day or night
It carries through in every thought and play
I know how I've tried
I know how I try
It doesn't matter how I try
The words I say just as fate slips away
Who decides what matters anyway?
And I can tell you day or night
It carries through in every thought and play
I know how I've tried
I know how I've tried
The words I say just as fate slips away
Who decides what matters anyway?
And I can tell you every day or night
It carries through every thought and play
I know how I've tried
I know how I've tried
It doesn't matter what I do
The actions don't affect the way she feels
Who can say what motions do conceal?
And I can tell you day or night
It carries through in every thought and play
I know how I've tried
I know how I try
It doesn't matter how I try
The words I say just as fate slips away
Who decides what matters anyway?
And I can tell you day or night
It carries through in every thought and play
I know how I've tried
I know how I've tried

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?
Battle Royale

Word Alive, The
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.
