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.
