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?
She's so lucky that she had to suffer some
Left her happy home began to drink and slum
She's got problems?
C'mon name me one?
She makes problems
Like makin' new friends
She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets free down at the scream
Oh yeah
All night running through her living room
All her sucked up her friends and daughter too
You poor mother! You cashed your little one in
For a three bag fill up and a new syringe
She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink now she's in the blue
Oh yeah
And you know
She's seen better days
Did you hear?
How far she's gone
Far away
Far away
She's gone far away
May be the last song you'll be sung
Ain't no sweet left in that emotion
She's got problems
And more problems to come
Cause it's worse than murder
That's what you done
Now you go suffer!
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink baby's feeling blue?
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets in free
Always was a freak
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Left her happy home began to drink and slum
She's got problems?
C'mon name me one?
She makes problems
Like makin' new friends
She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets free down at the scream
Oh yeah
All night running through her living room
All her sucked up her friends and daughter too
You poor mother! You cashed your little one in
For a three bag fill up and a new syringe
She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink now she's in the blue
Oh yeah
And you know
She's seen better days
Did you hear?
How far she's gone
Far away
Far away
She's gone far away
May be the last song you'll be sung
Ain't no sweet left in that emotion
She's got problems
And more problems to come
Cause it's worse than murder
That's what you done
Now you go suffer!
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink baby's feeling blue?
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets in free
Always was a freak
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
