Restless Heart
Restless Heart's Journey: Seeking Home Amidst Endless Roads
Lyrics
I wanna take the back roads home
I desire to take the less-traveled routes back to my residence.
I wanna see a face I know
I wish to encounter a familiar face.
'Cause these off-topics just ain't cutting it
The current discussions are unsatisfactory or uninteresting.
Conversations that make me claustrophobic
Conversations that make me feel confined or anxious.
To the shoreline go
I want to head to the shoreline.
To the lakes and silver stone
Specifically, to lakes and silver stone.
There's a part of me I left out there
There's a part of myself that I left in that place.
On suburban streets with humble houses
Referring to suburban streets with modest houses.
After ten thousand miles down
After covering a considerable distance of ten thousand miles.
Still feel like I'm lost now
Despite the journey, I still feel directionless or lost.
Don't know where I'll end this chase
Uncertain about where this pursuit will conclude.
Where the wind blows I'll follow
I will follow wherever the wind takes me.
Wander where my mind goes
To wander in the direction my thoughts lead.
But every street just ends the same
Every street seems to lead to the same outcome.
And sometimes nowhere feels like the right place
Sometimes, no location feels like the right place.
Sometimes you don't know you're leaving the good days
At times, one may not realize they are leaving the good times behind.
Oh, restless heart, lead me home
Appealing to a restless heart to guide back home.
Restless heart, lead me home
Reiteration of the plea for the restless heart to lead back home.
'Cause I been driving too long alone
Expressing a sense of loneliness from driving alone for too long.
I wanna see the sabals blowing
Expressing a desire to witness the sabal palms swaying.
I wanna go where land meets ocean
Wishing to go where the land meets the ocean.
And pull over for wildflowers like Carly did
Recalling the act of stopping for wildflowers, similar to Carly.
Goldenrod, sage, and stars paint the median
Describing the vibrant goldenrod, sage, and stars painting the median.
We'd always take it slow
Remembering a leisurely pace in the past.
And follow the intracoastal
Following the intracoastal waterway.
Browse the mom and pop shops to pass the time
Browsing small, local shops to pass the time.
Staying up just to watch the Atlantic sunrise
Staying awake to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic after a long drive.
After ten thousand miles down
Reiterating the feeling of being lost even after extensive travel.
Still feel like I'm lost now
Despite the distance covered, there is still a sense of being lost.
Don't know where I'll end this chase
Similar to line 11, unsure of where this pursuit will lead.
Where the wind blows I'll follow
Reaffirmation that the speaker will follow the wind's direction.
Wander where my mind goes
Reiterating the desire to wander in the direction of the mind.
But every street just ends the same
Repeating the notion that every street seems to lead to the same outcome.
And sometimes nowhere feels like the right place
Repetition of the feeling that nowhere seems right at times.
Sometimes you don't know you're leaving the good days
Reiterating the idea that one may not recognize leaving the good days.
Oh, restless heart, lead me home
Another plea to the restless heart to guide back home.
Restless heart, lead me home
Reiteration of the plea for the restless heart to lead back home.
'Cause I been driving too long alone
Restating the loneliness from driving alone for too long.
Oh, restless heart, lead me home
Yet another plea to the restless heart to guide back home.
Restless heart, lead me home
Once again, a plea for the restless heart to lead back home.
'Cause I been driving too long alone
Reiterating the sense of isolation from prolonged solo driving.
