When You Know What You Want

When you know what you want
The wind’s at your back, yeh, and time’s your friend
It’ll push you out like the tide, drag you in
And kiss you at the end
When you know what you want
You keep your head up, yeh, you look at the sun
You stop hiding beneath fringes, yeh
The heat it 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 a jump, yeh, your shoulders can drop
You outrun the demons and the cramps
You just leave 'em chokin' in your dust
And when you fall down exhausted
You sleep, you don’t force the day to cave in
Sleep’s there to hug you, caress and to drug you
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
Yeh 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 wind’s at your back, yeh, and time’s your friend
It’ll push you out like the tide, drag you in
And kiss you at the end
When you know what you want
