Restless

{Because sometimes a song perfectly embodies the ache of the human heart}

I am the sea on a moonless night, calling, falling, slipping tides
I am the leaky, dripping pipes, the endless aching drops of light
I am the raindrop falling down,
Always longing for the deeper ground
I am the broken, breaking seas, even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers ways to run , even the rain to reach the sun
Even my thirsty streams, even in my dreams

I am restless, I am restless
I am restless, looking for you
I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore
I’m looking for you

I am the one that you left behind,  I am the thorn stuck in your side
I am the bored and clouded eyes looking for the well that won’t run dry

Running hard for the other side , the world that I’ve always been denied
Running hard for the infinite with the tears of the saints and hypocrites 

Oh blood of black and white and gray
Death and life and night and day
One by one by one, we let our rivers run

I am restless, I am restless
I am restless, looking for you
I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore
I’m looking for you
........
I’ll be waiting, anticipating
All that I aim for, what I was made for
With every heartbeat all of my blood bleeds
Running inside me, looking for you
Looking for you

~ Restless, Switchfoot
