Wanderlust
Paperwhite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taken by wanderlust
I can feel my heart beating
Driven by wanderlust
I just wanna wake up dreaming

Take a little off your mind
Can you hear it calling, calling out?
Fast forward, then rewind
The sun keeps going, going down

So give me your trust, give me trust, embrace it
Feeling the rush, feeling the rush right now
We'll follow the love, follow the love, temptation
It's never enough, never enough, head up in the clouds

Taken by wanderlust
I can feel my heart beating
Driven by wanderlust
I just wanna wake up dreaming

Keep on running through the night
Cause it's our calling, calling now

We'll follow the love, follow the love, temptation
It's never enough, never enough, head up in the clouds

Taken by wanderlust
I can feel my heart beating
Driven by wanderlust
I just wanna wake up dreaming

Never look back to the place we started
Doesn't even matter where we go
(I just wanna wake up dreaming)
Stray from the path and stay open hearted
Cause we can find a way on our own
(I just wanna wake up dreaming)
With every step, it pull me closer to you

Taken by wanderlust
I can feel my heart beating
Driven by wanderlust
I just wanna wake up dreaming

Taken by wanderlust (I just wanna wake up dreaming)
Taken by wanderlust (I just wanna wake up dreaming)




Taken by wanderlust (I just wanna wake up dreaming)
Taken by wanderlust (I just wanna wake up dreaming)
