Restless
Loïc B.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
deep in the crease of my hand
Was raised without no assumptions
that what I own is where I stand
(you’re mad, cause we’re mad)
so aggressive and you won’t back down
missed the message and you just lash out
(you’re mad, cause we’re mad)
Fixing to fix the tricky situation, but
Invisible glue still holds my mouth shut
Can I ask you to move?
Trees whisper back what I told you
But it’s not what’s going on in my head
Legs so restless while I chase down the truth
Laying dead awake at night in my bed
I swear I don’t mean to drag you
like that bag of guilt that you throw around
Go crawl back into your feelings
and the velvet of your sleeping gown
(you mad, cause we’re mad)
Enough work for one day, now siesta
Same pay, and the system stay messed up
Don’t deny it
(you mad, cause we’re mad)
Fixing to fix the tricky situation, but
Invisible glue still holds my mouth shut
Could you ask for me?
Trees whisper back what I told you
But it’s not what’s going on in my head
Legs so restless while I chase down the truth
Laying dead awake at night in my bed
I need to practice my words
I need to work a lot on my timing too
I need to cool this relationship first
I need to settle things between me and you
I promise I still believe in
a future I’ll never see
