Restless
Kyles Tolone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a little restless
From watching your damn show
It seems a little senseless
To go after you cause you don′t wanna know

Oh how I feel for you, oh how I feel for you
Oh, does it scare you, cause I'm scared too
Like never in my life

I was living in the same
Fear of bitterness and shame
Don′t let the fear creep in, don't let the fear creep in
When there is no one left to blame
You are causing your own pain
Let your wings unfold
Let this love grow old

Now I am all defenseless
I gave you all I had




Every little secret is a gift for you
But do you really care

I feel a little restless
I am feeling agitated and fidgety


From watching your damn show
Because of watching your show that I don't even like


It seems a little senseless
It feels like a waste of time and energy


To go after you cause you don′t wanna know
To continue pursuing you despite your lack of interest


Oh how I feel for you, oh how I feel for you
I have strong feelings for you and it's overwhelming


Oh, does it scare you, cause I'm scared too
I wonder if my feelings are reciprocated and if it's scary for you like it is for me


Like never in my life
I have never felt this way before


I was living in the same
I used to be in the same situation


Fear of bitterness and shame
I was afraid of regret and humiliation


Don′t let the fear creep in, don't let the fear creep in
I must overcome my fear and not let it control me


When there is no one left to blame
When I run out of excuses and have to face the reality of my actions


You are causing your own pain
I am the reason for my own suffering


Let your wings unfold
I should allow myself to grow and explore my potential


Let this love grow old
I hope this love will last for a long time


Now I am all defenseless
I am vulnerable and exposed


I gave you all I had
I shared everything with you


Every little secret is a gift for you
I see sharing my secrets with you as a sign of trust and affection


But do you really care
I wonder whether my efforts and feelings are appreciated
