I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Hi,

Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk.

The above sentence is from the song "Because of you", and I don't understand it's meaning.

Thanks.

I stay where it is safe and where people usually go.

It's a metaphorical meaning -- I don't take chances or risks or try new things or do things most people don't do.
