Restless
The Seeking Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Restless, breathless

My flesh it wants, it wants me to hide. Just hear my call, I need replies
I stabbed your back, but you love me the same
Then I hear you whisper in my ear. And I, I bow down to you with guilt and tears

Restless, you are all I want now I am breathless, when I feel your touch (feel your touch)
I'm restless and I'm breathless
Restless, breathless

And my knees are dirty from past times, but you pick me up before I recognize
Draw me close, never let me go; I know you won't, I know you won't
Peace like a river, come my way. No more sorrow, no more sorrow

Restless, you are all I want now I am breathless, when I feel your touch (feel your touch)
I'm restless and I'm breathless

Restless, breathless
(You leave me breathless)

Restless, you are all I want now I am breathless, when I feel your touch (feel your touch)




I'm restless and I'm breathless
Restless (I am restless), breathless (I am breathless)
