Land of Canaan Lyrics
You can go to the east to find your
Your inner hemisphere You say we're under the same sky babe Your bound to realize honey it's not that clear I'm not your promised land oh no I'm not your promised one I'm not the land of Canaan sweetheart Waiting for you under the sun I'm lonely tonight I'm missing you now I'm wanting your love And you're giving it out I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight Well, the meanings changed For what it's worth It's just a senseless game Well I should think of love But it's fear every time I hear Honey your heartbeat strain It's not the fallen man It's not the call of time It's just the London skyline sweetheart Telling me you're not mine I'm lonely tonight I'm missing you now I'm wanting your love And you're giving it out I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight My blood is running dry My skin is, my skin is growing thin For every time you find yourself You loose a little bit of me honey from within It's just a raging cycle Why can't we bring it all to the end of the line From inside this existence, sweetheart Time is not on my side I'm lonely tonight I'm missing you now I'm wanting your love And you're giving it out I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight I'm not your promised land (I'm lonely tonight) I'm not your promised one (Honey I'm trying to tell you that I'm lonely tonight) I'm not your promised land I'm not your promised one I'm not the land of Canaan (I'm lonely tonight) I'm not your land of Canaan (I'm lonely tonight) I'm not the land of Canaan sweetheart Waiting for you under the sun I'm lonely tonight --- "Land of Canaan" as written by Amy Elizabeth Ray Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing Lyrics powerd by LyricFind

I take it to mean that Amy has a relationship of some sort but the other half is out with someone else, hence the chorus. And she's not the promised land, meaning that she isnt going to sit around for 40 years while this person finds their way back to her. Just another song caused by heartbreak in a non-monogamous relationship...
