about

The 2nd single from Nathan Lawr's July 2021 album Apocalypse Marshmallow.
Restless is a song about desire, yearning, and the search for fulfillment in a world of endless options and disrupted connections.

lyrics

Keep it in line, don’t blow your cover
Put me under a spell, for something like forever
She’s somewhere in blue, waking the dead
It doesn’t add up, even to the believer.
I wish I could be there, doing it again
I’d kick him in the eye and take off running.
Somewhere in the neighbourhood of everywhere and nowhere
On the edge of everything, so restless.
A creature of the new, I almost believed it
But I didn’t say a word, ‘cause I really didn’t mean it.
Say something like ‘forever’, the other bone in the river
Say something like ‘tonight’, and feed my fever.
I wish I could tear it down, build it out of nothing.
Blow a hole in the sky and take off running
Take off running, take off running
Somewhere in the neighbourhood of everywhere and nowhere
On the edge of everything
Somewhere in the universe is everyone and no one
On the edge of everything, so restless
