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.
I'm looking more like you everyday old man, in every way I'm feeling phantom pains from the fire you've dropped on your legs.
I'm storing my uplifting-look backs for my time in that seat.
Alone in your world, alone in your world just a wall away.
Angry at the stages of the day.
Your speech has gotten slow and you've lost so much weight.
The family knees have gotten weak.
The family skin has gotten languid.
If you put your gums in, and I let mine recede.
If you keep your pride, I'll be your eyes.
I'll save my temper, save my rage for the hot on your hands, 'cause you know cripples can't shiver.
6 hours, 6 hours, 6 hours of telling fields our health deserves more.
Please don't disappear with the room.
Please don't give up on going out.
Spending time at a split foyer choosing up or down.
I've waited, he never came, I'm assuming life fair.
The mold promises these sheets stay damp so my lungs wont last.
But I swear I'd at least break the fingers of the hand that dealt this to you.
I'm storing my uplifting-look backs for my time in that seat.
Alone in your world, alone in your world just a wall away.
Angry at the stages of the day.
Your speech has gotten slow and you've lost so much weight.
The family knees have gotten weak.
The family skin has gotten languid.
If you put your gums in, and I let mine recede.
If you keep your pride, I'll be your eyes.
I'll save my temper, save my rage for the hot on your hands, 'cause you know cripples can't shiver.
6 hours, 6 hours, 6 hours of telling fields our health deserves more.
Please don't disappear with the room.
Please don't give up on going out.
Spending time at a split foyer choosing up or down.
I've waited, he never came, I'm assuming life fair.
The mold promises these sheets stay damp so my lungs wont last.
But I swear I'd at least break the fingers of the hand that dealt this to you.

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?

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.

Kyle said in an interview: "Cripples can't shiver is a song about my father’s multiple sclerosis and me feeling helpless to do anything about it. I took the sound clip from a speech my mom gave about him at her church. I can see myself turning into my father, his MS has crippled him but he keeps a great attitude about it. This song is about how him being crippled has crippled my outlook on growing older."
