From Safety To Where Lyrics

This reminds me of a quote from the Sopranos, where Dr. Melfi says "the choice between freedom and security. The child often switches between them". I think Ian had trouble with the loss of innocence, so this song may be about deciding weather to stay in the safety of home or leaving. Hence from safety (home) to where (Ian has no idea what the world has in store for him).
