Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss you but I know I need to move on before I can talk again
I miss your soft touch now I am left restless without you tonight

I miss you but I know I need to move on before I can talk again
I miss your soft touch now I am left restless without you tonight




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Midnight Drift's song "Restless" express a sentiment of longing and loss. The singer confesses to missing the person they address in the lyrics, but acknowledges the need to move on before attempting to reestablish a connection. This could imply that there was a falling out, a breakup, or some other circumstance that caused a rift between the two parties. Despite this, the singer still feels the absence of their loved one keenly, and is left feeling restless and incomplete without them.


The repeated phrase "I miss you but I know I need to move on before I can talk again" reinforces the idea that the singer has come to terms with their own emotional state, and recognizes that they cannot move forward until they have properly grieved the loss. The reference to the person's "soft touch" suggests a deep emotional intimacy that the singer now feels deprived of. The final line, "I am left restless without you tonight," emphasizes the immediate impact of the loss, and how it has affected the singer's current state of mind.


Overall, the lyrics of "Restless" capture the complex mix of sadness, nostalgia, and longing that can come with a difficult breakup or separation.
