Tourist makes more sense with the rest of the line, given that he talks about leaving a city. The imagery of that analogy, btw, is beautiful. As a tourist, you only see the beautiful parts of the city, which in turn skews your views of it as something fantastic. If you live there though, you tend to see its flaws.
Also, thanks to richardm82 for the rest of the lyrics. Very helpful!
