Wanderlust Lyrics by James Bay

Electric Light (Target Exclusive)

2018

[Verse 1]
You get me high and low
No matter where I go, you're the first thing on my mind
We started to fade
I know I was supposed to call, I wasn't alone
And it was late in different time zones
You've got eleven, I was on your side
I was only waking up
I just need to see you, need to feel that rush
Again and again and again

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on over and mend my heart

[Chorus]
I didn't want to be here
I didn't want to be here without you
Want to be here
But everyone of us, every one of us got wanderlust

[Refrain]
You get me high and low
I don't wanna fill this space
You're still the best I loved
And I'm still on the outside

[Verse 2]
Standing on a corner in the rainy, hot night
Wonderin' if you were at home
My pockets full of someone else's cigarettes
And I don't even smoke (I don't even smoke)

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on over and mend my heart
Come on over and mend my heart

[Chorus]
I didn't want to be here
I didn't want to be here without you
Want to be here
But everyone of us, every one of us got wanderlust (Got wanderlust)

[Bridge]
I just wanna be in
Be in the light, light that surrounds you
I just wanna be in
Be in the light, be in that light
I just wanna be in
Be in the light, light that surrounds you
I just wanna be in
Be in the light, be in that light
I just wanna be in
Be in the light, light that surrounds you
And I just wanna be in, be in the light
You get me high and low
We're always out of time

[Chorus]
I didn't want to be here
I didn't want to be here without you
Want to be here
But everyone of us, every one of us got wanderlust

[Outro]
Every one of us got wanderlust
Every one of us got wanderlust
Every one of us got wanderlust
Every one of us got wanderlust
