Restless
Josh Homme/UNKLE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm all restless but I don't care
You don't like me much, well me neither
You go me, my, ma, like you're some kind of God
You live like someone trippin' on the same one you lost

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
Got this sinking feeling, so if I sing it it's true
There ain't no habit that I will not defend
If it comes back well I will not resend
I'm broken, house broken
Now you on the mend

I'm in you, you're on me

Those who pay, will just pay it again
Never beginning nor a jewel at the end
Rip me from the breakage and solvents
Taking over, I'll just take what you got

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
You're the truth, I do believe
I'm in you, you're on me
Easy

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, gonna follow, gonna follow the light to the love

Well I've gone restless, I don't care
I got fifteen bucks worth of savior faire
You wanna step in my way you won't step again
I just break it, I just bend, I resend

I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me
I'm in you, you're on me





Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love

Well, I'm all restless but I don't care
You don't like me much, well, me neither
You go read my mind like some kind of God
You live, let's have you trippin' on the same one you lost

And you
Are on me
I'm in you
You're on me

Got this sinking feeling I sank with the tulip
There ain't no habit that I would not defend
Let's come back, well, I don't resend
And I'm broken house, break you, you on the mend

When you
You're on me

Those who pay will just pay it again
It's ever beginning, that's a duel to the end
Let's rip me from the breakage and solvents
Taking over, I'll just take what you got

When you
You're on me
I'm in you
You're on me
You're the truth
I do believe
I'm in you
You're on me
Easy

Gonna follow the light to the love

You wanna step in my way to step it again
I never break it, I just bend it and I resend

And you
You're on me
I'm in you
You're on me

Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow the light to the love
Gonna follow, follow
The light to the love
