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 didn't know, I never lied
Something in me like, somewhere to hide
If you would've said, I would've known
I'm trying to roam while I'm trying to grow
How does it feel, are you dying inside?
Try an' recall but there's no rewind
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I only say what everyone knows
We buy in the lie, but you selli'n your soul
Why would you say, he wants to lose?
You're looking at me but you see what you choose
Just 'cause I don't agree with everyone else
You're changing the rules, but you're only cheating yourself
I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you
Show me the way and I'll show you inside
I got nothin' to lose, got nothing to hide
Too many people are living alone
Take a look at yourself and then check what you know
How does it feel, are you dying inside?
Try an' recall but there's no rewind
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I've got a feeling that you're looking to find
Maybe some kind've meaning, but I've nothing in mind
Why would you side with anyone else?
When you figure it out, what you're thinking yourself
How will you learn when you don't wanna know?
How does it feel to believe everything you've always known?
I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you
Something in me like, somewhere to hide
If you would've said, I would've known
I'm trying to roam while I'm trying to grow
How does it feel, are you dying inside?
Try an' recall but there's no rewind
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I only say what everyone knows
We buy in the lie, but you selli'n your soul
Why would you say, he wants to lose?
You're looking at me but you see what you choose
Just 'cause I don't agree with everyone else
You're changing the rules, but you're only cheating yourself
I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you
Show me the way and I'll show you inside
I got nothin' to lose, got nothing to hide
Too many people are living alone
Take a look at yourself and then check what you know
How does it feel, are you dying inside?
Try an' recall but there's no rewind
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I've got a feeling that you're looking to find
Maybe some kind've meaning, but I've nothing in mind
Why would you side with anyone else?
When you figure it out, what you're thinking yourself
How will you learn when you don't wanna know?
How does it feel to believe everything you've always known?
I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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.
Actually, my fault for no adding these in my previous comment, but I noticed some other problems with the lyrics. They should be:
I want to say what everyone knows, You're buying the lie, but your sellin' your soul, Why would you say, you want us to lose? You're looking at me but you see what you choose
I've got a feeling that you're looking to find, Maybe some kind of meaning, but have nothing in mind. Why would you side, with anyone else? When you figure it out, what you're thinking yourself.
