"When You Know What You Want" lyrics

"When You Know What You Want"

When you know what you want
The winds at your back, yeah
And time's your friend
It'll push you out like tide
Drag you in and kiss you at the end
When you know what you want
You keep your head up, yeah
You look at the sun
You stop hiding beneath fringes
He, who just lingers on and on
Just keep that voice on your shoulder
That steers you out of the corners
That night won't swallow you up
When you know, when you know what you want

When your mind's made up
You wake up with the junk, yeah
Your shoulders can drop
You out run the demons
The cramps you just leave them
Choking in your dust
And when you fall down exhausted, you sleep
You don't force the day to cave in
Sleep is there to hug ya
Caress and to drug ya
On it you can depend
So keep that voice on your shoulder
That steers you out of the corners
That night won't swallow you up
When you know, when you know what you want

When you know what you want
The winds at your back, yeah
And time's your friend
It'll push you out like tide
Drag you in and kiss you at the end
When you know what you want
You keep your head up, yeah
You look at the sun
You stop hiding beneath fringes
He, who just lingers on and on
Just keep that voice on your shoulder
That steers you out of the corners
That night won't swallow you up
When you know, when you know what you want

When you know what you want
