Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't sleep, and now the sun is dawnin'
Cross your heart, hope to die, tell the truth, don't you lie
Something doesn't feel right
I can tell, I can see it in your eyes
Got me feeling so restless
Got me feeling so restless
(Restless)
How much more can I take?
How long before I break?
You got me feeling, oh,
You got me feeling, feeling so restless
What move should I make?
So much to lose when your heart's at stake
You got me feeling, oh
You got me feeling, feeling so restless
I know what to do
Never should've trusted someone like you
You got me feeling, oh
You got me feeling, feeling so restless
There's nothing left to say
I don't want to leave but I know I can't stay
Oh, you got me feeling, oh
You got me feeling, feeling so restless
You got me feeling oh,
You got me feeling
You got me feeling oh,
You got me feeling
You got me feeling oh,
You got me feeling
(Restless)
