Abroad Songtext
von Evripidis and His Tragedies

I′m spending my time on long distance phonecalls
I'm wasting my money in internet cafés
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 phonecalls
I′m wasting my money in internet cafés
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 lovе and I′m not there
My friends arе 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, what would I do without you?"

Everytime I go back we pretend nothing's changed
Besides the fun there is a ghost lingering between us
We adore each other but I′m not part of their everyday lives no more
And they are not part of mine
In a new town in a new scene
With a whola lotte brand new things to do

My new friends are so brilliant, they almost made me forget
But how could I ever forget, how could I ever forget you?

So I'm wasting my time on long distance phonecalls
I'm spending my money in internet cafés
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 phonecalls
I′m wasting my money in internet cafés
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 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, abroad)
Abroad, abroad
But I miss my family and I miss my friends
