Wanderlust Lyrics

Can you hear that knocking in your soul
No, no, you don't listen
Can you hear that knocking overload
No, no, you don't listen
Never see the high beyond the low
No wonder, you lay twitching
Do you share the rush to be alone
Come over, we'll go missing

We'll go where there's no snow
We'll go and they won't know
But just please don't give me your word

Do do do...

Can you hear that knocking in your soul
No wonder, you don't listen
We'll go where there's no snow
Just please don't give me your word
Do do do...
Just please don't give me your word

All that matters is the music tonight
Just please don't give me your word
All that matters is the music tonight
But you don't listen...
But you don't listen...
Ah you don't listen...

So, we'll go running, running til we start again
Yeah we'll run, we'll run away
Yeah, we'll go running, running til we start again
Yeah we'll run, we'll run away
Yeah, we'll go running, running til we start again
And we'll run, we'll run away

i think this song is about having a friend who's a drug addict. like: Never see the high beyond the low No wonder, you lay twitching. that sounds like opiate addiction straight up. and the repetition of the line "please don't give me your word", because it's terrible having someone promise time and time again that they'll get better, and they never do.

I don't think it's about anything as specific as drug addiction... more a general feeling of desperation for something more out of life. However, I do agree that a friend/lover is involved - they're offering the person an escape from the mundanity of their lives (hence the line 'we'll go where there's no snow').

I absolutely adore these lyrics. They're not too specific or personal to the songwriter - they just create this beautiful sense of hope, intimacy and love, which is something I think everyone dreams of capturing at some point in their lifetime.

In fact, I'd actually...
