Lyrics
Your head hits the pillow
but it bounces right off
You're dying for sleep
but you never get enough
Thoughts keep a-racin'
voices screamin' in your head
You find yourself thinkin'
you'd be better off dead

CHORUS
Cause you're restless, restless, restless
that's what you are

When you woke up he was gone,
didn't say goodbye
Didn't say where he was goin'
no, he didn't say why
Now you're left witha burnin'
that you can't seem to fill
So you take it to the streets
with looks that kill

CHORUS
Another pair of arms
another backseat of a car
another dirty, dark room
but you've gone too far
You're givin' 'way your body
but you're gettin' nothing back
You're tryin' to fill your soul
Bur you forgot to pack

And you're still restless (Girl,you are so)
restless (Girl,you are so)
restless- that's what you are (repeat)
