Abroad Lyrics

I'm spending my time on long distance phone calls
Wasting my money in internet cafes
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But I can't go back, I'm not ready yet
I'm spending my time on long distance phone calls
Wasting my money in internet cafes
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But I can't go back, I'm not ready yet
My mother's hair is turning white and I'm not there
My father's getting older too and I'm not there
My sister wins and loses races
My uncle's dying and I'm not there to say goodbye

My friends are moving in and out of flats and I'm not there
My friends are falling in and out of love and I'm not there
My friends are getting married
Will I be there to celebrate with them?

My friends are having nervous breakdowns and I'm not there
My friends are falling apart and i'm not there
My friends are trying to kill themselves and I'm not there to say "Don't do it! Cause I need you and what could I do without you?"
Everytime I go back we pretend nothing changed
Besides the phone there's a ghost lingering between us(?)
We adore each other but I'm not a part of their everyday lives no more and they're not part of mine
I need a little more time in a new city
With a whole lot of brighter things to do
My new friends are so briliant they almost make me forget, but how could I ever forget, how could I ever forget you

So, I'm wasting my time on long distance phone calls
Spending my money in internet cafes
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But I can't go back
I'm not ready yet
I'm spending my time on long distance phone calls
Wasting my money in internet cafes
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But I can't go back
I'm not ready yet to join the army
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But I can't go back
I'm not ready yet to join to settle down
I want to run around
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But I can't go back
I'd rather stay a little bit more abroad
Abroad

Abroad

I miss my family, I miss my friends
