Lyrics: You Am I. 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 the 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 only, 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 jump, 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

Yeah, 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 the tide
Drag you in and kiss you at the end

When you know what you want
