LYRICS:

RESTLESS

"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

Cause I can't feel you breathing,
I can't feel you reaching
Pushing through the ceiling
Making for the feeling
More than just a feeling
Pushing through the ceiling
Until the final healing
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
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 liked it before I started watching the video!

[katyjoy02]

nothing beats the initial thrill of a first performance jon foreman song. really looking forward to vice verses :)

[crazyjoe320]

this version = equals pure, passionate, amazingness. Studio version = over-produced, but still pretty goodness. This version > studio version.

@RuthGracie Yes it was a great venue because it was so small and intimate. I was basically right up front which was killer. I actually have 3 videos from it as well which is cool. I flew out from Nova Scotia to see them play, had been a dream of mine! :)

[RuthGracie]

WOW. Awesome camera 

[RuthGracie]

Beautiful new song...I love it!...Saw you guys in Barrie and when I heard the song it gave me goose bumps. You guys rock!...Your lyrics continue to inspire me and lead me to a deeper level of understanding of our Father God. I started listening to you guys back in 2002 around the time of Dare you to Move...that song is the best description of our call as believers..to move past our circumstances and press on... Bless you Jon, Tim, Chad, Jerome and Andrew. You remain in my prayers Ruth Grace
