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?
When we reached the car we found it wasn't there
She asked to hold my hand
I said I didn't care
Though it made her angry
That was the day we fell in love
It makes no difference today
And the money ran out so we headed home
And the house we lived in was the first she'd known
It made her angry when she realized
But it makes no difference in her eyes
I want to tell the story but I can't believe
You find the things inside you to make you see
I have traveled oceans
I have swallowed tears
I have looked for one like you for years
It makes no difference now that you are here
It makes no difference today
Would you marry me?
Would you say forever?
Take me away if it's still inside you
It makes no difference now that you are here
It makes no difference today
She asked to hold my hand
I said I didn't care
Though it made her angry
That was the day we fell in love
It makes no difference today
And the money ran out so we headed home
And the house we lived in was the first she'd known
It made her angry when she realized
But it makes no difference in her eyes
I want to tell the story but I can't believe
You find the things inside you to make you see
I have traveled oceans
I have swallowed tears
I have looked for one like you for years
It makes no difference now that you are here
It makes no difference today
Would you marry me?
Would you say forever?
Take me away if it's still inside you
It makes no difference now that you are here
It makes no difference today

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
