Song Lyrics

I've been sleepwalking through the railway station
Wake me up when they call my destination

Where I've been, I was bound to leave behind
All device and all disease was mine

I'm speeding out of reach
Oh, you're the one I had to meet

I never wanted to go home
Wanderlust will carry us on
There was nothing there for me
Wanderlust will carry us on
In a high rise on my own
I've been on the prince of highways for so long
Looking out in a mirrored balcony
Wanderlust will carry us on
Will there ever be a place for you and me?
Wanderlust

I'm rolling in for a seven day weekend
Living up again to my old reputation
Can you cover me
'Cause I got no armor
Keep moving on down the line
Keep on going further

I'm speeding out of reach
Oh, you're the one I had to meet

I never wanted to go home
Wanderlust will carry us on
There was nothing there for me
Wanderlust will carry us on
In a high rise on my own
I've been on the prince of highways so long
Looking out at a mirrored balcony
Wanderlust will carry, carry, carry us on
I don't know where to go now, I got nowhere to hide
Nowhere to go, nowhere to be
I don't know where to go now, I got nowhere to be
Oh, wanderlust will carry us on

Walk fifty city blocks down but they always find us
Wanderlust will carry us on
Will there ever be a place for you and me
Wanderlust will carry us on
Will there ever be a place for you and me?
