Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Help me, I feel like I'm weightless
Floating right out of your hands
And there's only so much I aspire to
Taking one day at a time
And deliverance has many faces
But grace is an acquaintance of mine
[Verse 2]
Tell me how could it have happened?
You know that we're not the marrying kind
Travel light, don't think twice
We're leaving the shadows behind
[Verse 3]
It's given us, yeah, this wonderful wanderlust
It's given us this wonderful wanderlust
It's given us this wonderful wanderlust
I don't doubt it, I feel it
[Verse 4]
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
[Verse 5]
Help me, this water boy's wasted
Falling right out of your sky
And there's nothin' I could do without here
Loving the state that I'm in
Between no longer and not yet
On the threshold of some brighter things
[Verse 6]
The match was struck and I was fire
The embers of a drowning man
Tell me, why won't I listen
Or acknowledge that I don't understand?
Losing light, a selfish kind
And we're out on the road again
[Verse 7]
It's given us, yeah, this wonderful wanderlust
It's given us this wonderful wanderlust
It's given us this wonderful wanderlust
I don't doubt it, I feel it
[Verse 8]
Turn the headlights on full
I wanna take in it all
And let it wash over me
The bridge looked so high
From the banks that we climbed
But we climbed them so that we could be free
[Verse 9]
Give me no dreams of what the future brings
I need to know when I have gone too far, oh
Repeated lightning strikes up and down the spine
They search us out wherever we are
[Verse 10]
In a world full of lies that tug at the truth
I'm taking no sides, now I recognize you
[Verse 11]
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
[Verse 12]
It's given us, given us, this wonderful wanderlust
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Wanderlust
I don't doubt it, no
