[Hook: Requiem]
So many cities sitting on my checklist
Overseas looking for an exit
Stuck on an island, I'm feeling desperate
Overseas looking for an exit
See the world that's my objective
Overseas looking for an exit
Love life between the tropics and the desert
Exit overseas live in the present
[Verse 1: Requiem]
It's plain to see, sitting in planes on seats
Spots I've travelled made me me
I maybe be jealous of those who jet the globe
Right now I'm content to be home
One day I'll travel foreign lands
The expanse, sans worries, take rides in buses and vans
Dance with strangers, give adventure a chance
Right now I'm happy where I stand
Used to look overseas to places I wanna see
Used to think overseas where I'd be free
Used to think overseas where I wanna be
Now I'm used to where I'm at I don't wanna leave
Been to California and stayed in NYC
Been to Dublin, so cold it made me freeze
Been to KL, shopping in the heat
Been livin' in Darwin, it suits me to a tee
[Hook: Requiem]
So many cities sitting on my checklist
Overseas looking for an exit
Stuck on an island, I'm feeling desperate
Overseas looking for an exit
See the world that's my objective
Overseas looking for an exit
Love life between the tropics and the desert
Exit overseas live in the present
[Verse 2: Requiem]
From window to aisle, up in the air for a while
Still everyday I manage a smile
Right now my pa**port put away in a file
Too old, hostels have gone outta style
While away the day, vacay luxury stay
Hotel bed where I wanna lay
Gourmet room service brought in on a tray
These days when I'm away, I don't play
Make myself home in a European castle
Could still backpack but I don't need the ha**le
Tokyo layover, sleep in a capsule
Shop Can*l Street, see if I can haggle
After a while it loses the dazzle
Best laid plans start to unravel
Holiday snaps can stay on the mantle
Local flavours I'd rather sample
[Hook: Requiem]
