Foreign lands, I set out two years to this day
Called you up just to hear your voice and relay
I never saw that your face showed all of the signs
How could I know in a voice through electric lines
I won’t stray out
East, west, north or south
Take my word now
Cower, leap out
Sit back at home as a smile on a guilty face
Receiver’s down, drawn the blinds, it’s a darkened place
Across the globe while I’m feeling so reassured
Your open arms welcome what you’ve always ignored
I won’t stray out
East, west, north or south
Take my word now
Cower, leap out
I won’t stray out
East, west, north or south
Take my word now
Cower, leap out
Going to take these two steps forward
Then a step behind
Going to wish you’d never noticed
I can’t leave this behind
Going to take these two steps forward
Then a step behind
Going to wish you’d never noticed
I can’t leave this behind
They’ll always find out
Of that there is no doubt
