Wanderlust Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am leaving this harbor, giving urban a farewell
Its habitants seem too keen on God, I cannot stomach their rights and wrongs
I have lost my origin and I don't want to find it again
Whether sailing into nature's laws and be held by ocean's paws
[Chorus 1]
Wanderlust, relentlessly craving
Wanderlust, peel off the layers
Until we get to the core
Did I imagine it would be like this?
Was it something like this I wished for?
Or will I want more?
[Verse 2]
Lust for comfort suffocates the soul
Relentless restlessness liberates me, sets me free
I feel at home whenever the unknown surrounds me
I receive its embrace aboard my floating house
[Chorus 1]
Wanderlust, relentlessly craving
Wanderlust, peel off the layers
Until we get to the core
Did I imagine it would be like this?
Was it something like this I wished for?
Or will I want more?
[Chorus 2]
Wanderlust, from island to island
Wanderlust, united in movement
Wonderful, I'm joined with you
[Outro]
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
Can you spot a pattern?
Relentlessly restless
Restless, relentlessly
Restless, relentlessly
Restless, relentlessly
Restless, relentlessly
Can you spot a pattern?
Restless, relentlessly
Restless, relentlessly
Can you spot a pattern?
Restless, relentlessly
Restless, relentlessly

Sjon took it and came back with something totally different. And I took his version, edited it, put my own lines in. It took a while. It’s about that adv...
