This song is about someone in a relationship who is worried about the future and adventures with the other person. The song chronicles the journey to this point, from “lying beside” them while the speaker remains awake, people saying they should be careful, to the eventual conclusion that they can’t...
Lying, a dreamer dreaming beside me
The city sirens keep me awake
And I know I'll see you again in the long run
People, they tell me I should be careful
That you'll worry and I'm already miles away
But I know I'll see you again in the long run
And I know I'll meet you again in the long run
But we can't be lovers 'cause I'm still afraid
Of leaving the things I love dearly
I wander, I roam, I write home to tell you
That I'm sorry, I won't leave it this late again
But I know I'll see you again in the long run
And I know I'll meet you again in the long run
But I can't be married, you'll take me away
From everything that I love dearly
And we can't be lovers
You'll take me away from my home
My home
My home
But I know I'll see you again in the long run
