When You Know What You Want Lyrics - You Am I

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
