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?
he met her at a night club
she couldn't keep the beat
she wore her grandma's prom dress
raccoon slippers on her feet
he took a shot of something strong
to make him feel less weak
and so the story goes--
there's something to be said about
trading stories of when you're eight years old
he had his first stitches
when he bit an ice cream bowl
she had her first kiss
in a swimming hole
so the story goes--
and the days grew long
and the wine was overflowing
and she knew she was in love
'cause nobody ever
hugged her like that
hugged her like that
hugged her like that
hugged her like that
they moved into a school bus
just 'cause it seemed like fun
she'd say, "I like the way you touch me,
it makes me feel like i have no skeleton"
and so the story goes...
and i've seen photographs and videotapes
of that decent home, that loving place
and it's about time two minds combine
in such a fine, fine way
and may your lives be long
and may your wishes all be simple
and may your hearts stay strong
tucked into bed, you see the ghost of your teddy bear
check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there
turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear
turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear
she rides him like the state fair
they make love like two solar flares
carry like they really care
that they're gonna make it
He wants to die in the place where she first said i love you
spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew
they decorate when featherless
they celebrate through hungriness
it's about time two minds combined
in such a fine, fine way
and may your lives be long
and may your wishes all be simple
and may your hearts stay strong
and may your lives be long
and may your wishes all be simple
and may your hearts stay strong

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There are so many great lines, a love song that seems ordinary but far from it. Towards the end, his voice-almost yelling. God I get crazy chills.
