Restless
Leland Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So how did we get ourselves into this shit
And I don't know what you′ve been telling your friends
But they can't hear you
While your lips are sealed together
Sometimes I hate you
But I wont when you want me there
Tell me your version of the truth
Cause I′m so sick of being restless over you
Maybe I′m just too high
To see it through
Well I'm so sick of being restless over you
After time it wasn′t hard to see ya
The vanity, ripped jeans, white sneakers
But you fooled me one to many times to let it go off the record
About last night
I was tongue tied
It doesn't help when I get indecisive
You′re hot head ready to pick a fight
Just give me peace of mind
Baby don't waste my time
Tell me your version of the truth
Cause I′m so sick of being restless over you
Maybe I'm just too high
To see it through
Well I'm so sick of being restless over you

I’ve never held a heart like this
I've never felt so deeply for someone before
So how did we get ourselves into this shit
How did we end up in this difficult situation?
And I don't know what you’ve been telling your friends
I'm not sure what you're saying about me to others
But they can't hear you while your lips are sealed together
Whatever you're saying, your secrets are safe with your closed mouth
Sometimes I hate you but I won’t when you want me there
I may hate you at times, but I'll put that aside if you need me
Baby don't waste my time
Don't take up my time if you don't have something to say
Tell me your version of the truth
Be honest with me and tell me what really happened
Cause I'm so sick of being restless over you
I'm tired of feeling anxious and unfulfilled because of our relationship
Maybe I'm just too high to see it through
Perhaps I'm not thinking clearly because of my emotional state
Well I'm so sick of being restless over you
I'm really tired of feeling this way about you
After time it wasn’t hard to see ya
Eventually, your true self started to become clearer to me
The vanity, ripped jeans, white sneakers
I started to see through your attempts to appear trendy and fashionable
But you fooled me one too many times to let it go off the record
I can't ignore all the times you've deceived me
About last night, I was tongue tied
I struggled to express myself effectively during our recent interaction
It doesn’t help when I get indecisive
My indecisiveness only makes things worse
You're a hot head ready to pick a fight
You're always looking for a confrontation
Just give me peace of mind
I need some reassurance and clarity to feel at ease
