Switchfoot - Restless Lyrics






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 thorn stuck in your side,
I am the one that you left behind,
I am the dried up doubting 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
Looking for you

I can hear you breathing,
I can hear you leading
More than just a feeling
More than just a feeling
I can feel you reaching
Pushing through the ceiling
'til the final healing
I'm looking for you

Until the sea of glass we meet
At last completed and complete
The tide of tear and pain subside
Laughter drinks them dry

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

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 can feel you breathing
I can feel you leading
More than just a feeling
More than just a feeling
I can feel you reaching
Pushing through the ceiling
'til the final healing
I'm looking for you
I'm looking for you

    One of the songs I played at my husbands recent funeral. We saw them in concert several times and this was his favorite Swithfoot song. I used to play them a lot as a former dee jay at a local Christian radio station. Beautiful lyrics and my husband made it to the final healing!!

    @Donna Allison Hey, we "children of the promise" gotta hold each other up🌟 RESTLESS is the song/video that pulled me in to THE SWITCHFOOT REALM where HOLY SPIRIT dwells and speaks through their music... It has literally saved my life over and over again. Jon Foreman is a musical, spiritual genius and a great example of how to live this life like Jesus taught.. LOVING, GIVING SELFLESS, GENTLE YET STRONG,.. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SWITCHFOOT IS A SHELTER, A FORTRESS, A SAFE PLACE THAT NOURISHES AND RESTORES YOUR SOUL . THE MORE YOU LISTEN THE MORE YOU HEAR.💛💕🎶

    D.... A....

    @RL Day Yeah I agree friend

  15. a.... s....

    good😍

  16. K.... M....

    This song is the direct opposite of the U2 song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". U2 is a satanic band with incredible fame and fortune, but no soul. Switchfoot will never reach the level of recognition and acclaim that U2 has, even though they are more talented (and far more relatable). But they don't care, because they know the Lord and sing for Him.

    john fornum, i hand over me balles to ye

  18. J.... D....

    Jesus is the ONLY calm in this life that we can ABSOLUTELY trust!!!!  He said that in this life we would have trouble but to be of good cheer because HE has overcome the world!!!

  19. V.... R....

    What does with the tears of the saints and hypocrites mean?

    V.... R....

    We are all saints, we are all hipocrites, we are all good, we are all bad.. it is the contrast - the struggle, the tension is where we live

    V.... R....

    @RL Day thanks a lot RL Day

    I read the poem for school purposes and was like... This would be a good rock song! Then found out there was already a song for the poem and it was nothing like the tune I had in my head for it... Ah well, the words are deep in any case!

    I cried to this knowing I felt my true love at those moments, I knew he knew I was there and I knew he was there waiting my whole life for him to find me. The one I had searched for all my life and I knew he was searching for me also. It was never a man like in the fairytales. Now I know my true love is God, the creator, the Universe! It's more than just a feeling (: It's a knowing. The truest deepest love, I feel it.

  62. C.... S....

    For all of us insomniatic engineering students out there perusing the youtublies, I just want to say something a friend of mine told me recently. He said it's okay to have questions, that it's not always bad to be conflicted within. Ya see, without questions, we never find the answers. Without conflicts, there are no resolutions. God wants us to be honest about the strife in our hearts and to ask for help when we need it. It shows that we trust him with more than we did before. It also strengthens our existing resolve. Godspeed you guys, and God bless Switchfoot for encouraging college kids like me.

    C.... S....

    Quite so!

    C.... S....

    Completely agree! it´s what im always thought -I´m sure Jon Foreman couldn´t say it better .

    Switchfoot and Christian music. ... The band has always philosophically disagreed with this label; "We're Christian by faith, not genre," Tim Foreman explained to Rolling Stone magazine in 2003. Says Jon Foreman, "We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from

  91. C.... Q....

    What a beautiful song! Love it! :)

  92. D.... E....

    Switchfoot es lo máximo.

  93. B.... A....

    I just cant get enough of this song

  94. A.... A....

    I just CAN NOT believe why Romey is never shown properly in ANY of their recent music videos... This is just outrageous!! Just go back and see for yourself... Or in Dark Horses... Never is there any frame in these videos dedicated entirely to Jerome... What the hell??? Just because there's a new guitarist on board, will you forget about the earlier one??? I love Switchfoot, but I'm deeply ashamed of this... Jon's face is, like, in almost the entire video...

    A.... A....

    @Aparajit Ananya Because, within a family, love and appreciation doesn't need showcasing. These trivial things doesn't matter when you share a deep, brotherly bond.

    A.... A....

    @Ankit Murarka well, it isn't just by chance that he's never shown... Everyone else is.

    A.... A....

    @Ankit Murarka just go ahead nd watch the video again.

    A.... A....

    @Aparajit Ananya If I were in a band(which I was in my college days), I would have no problem whatsoever if I was not even covered in the video. What matters is you are making good music man. You might be right that he is not shown, might be his choice.

    A.... A....

    +Aparajit Ananya It's funny, one of the most amazing things that was ever said to me by someone I make music with was that when I'm doing it I don't care about the rest of the world because it is a moment between me and the one I am making the music for, thus it doesn't matter if I am seen making the music. Maybe the same applies here!

  95. Z.... R....

    This song is freaking amazing

  96. Y.... Z....

    I like this video!! Blesses!! ;) a hug for everyone!!
