I think it is about a man who is cheating on his wife and sleeps with prostitutes. "At home he feels like a tourist", he feels that he doesn't belong there, and his family/wife is not really important to him. So cheating is not a big deal for him. His wife knows that he is screwing around, but she accepts it because if it got out it would harm the facade of the perfect family/couple. Just a thought. Btw, I love the way they pitch the song in the end of the "big jump for me"-part! Great song.
