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
