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
You're 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
Your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky babe
You're 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 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
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 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 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 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 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

This is the song my username comes from!
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...
This is about a lover, that isn't the one. But you keep going back to them because it's better than being along. And she's telling them that she's finally realizing that's she's not the one for them.
Moses was not allowed into the Promised Land for sins he commited before the end of the exodus. The subject puts the lyricist on an unachevable pedastal, undeserving. The writer doesn't want to be viewed from afar, doesn't want to be the land of Canaan
