Lyrics

Restless

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am the sea on a moonless night

Calling falling, slipping tides

I am the leaky, dripping pipes

The endless, aching drops of lights

I am the raindrop falling down

Always longing for the deeper ground

I am the broken, breaking seas

Even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers ways to run

Even the rain to reach the sun

Even my thirsty streams

Even in my dreams

I am restless

I am restless

I am restless

Looking for you

I am restless

I run like the ocean to find your shore

Looking for you

I am the thorn stuck in your side

I am the one that you left behind

I am the dried up doubting eyes

Looking for the well that won’t run dry

Running hard for the other side

The world that I’ve always been denied

Running hard for the infinite

With the tears of saints and hypocrites

Oh, blood of black and white and grey

Oh, death in life and night in day

One by one by one

We let our rivers run

I am restless

I am restless

I am restless

Looking for you

I am restless

I run like the ocean to find your shore

Looking for you

I can hear you breathing

I can feel you leading

More than just a feeling

More than just a feeling

I can feel you reaching

Pushing through the ceiling

Till the final healing

I’m looking for you

Until the sea of glass we meet

At last completed and complete

Where tide and tear and pain subside

And laughter drinks them dry

I’ll be waiting

Anticipating

All that I aim for

What I was made for

With every heartbeat

All of my blood bleeds

Running inside me

I’m looking for you

Looking for you

Looking for you

Looking for you

Looking for you

I am restless

I am restless

I am restless

Looking for you

I am restless

I run like the ocean to find your shore

I'm looking for you

Looking for you

I can feel you breathing

I can feel you leading

More than just a feeling

More than just a feeling

I can feel you reaching

Pushing through the ceiling

Till the final healing

I’m looking for you

I’m looking for you
