I have always have a thing for Switchfoot ever since they went prominently 'public' in 2002, thanks to the movie A Walk to Remember. My sister Marcia brought the OST cassette, and I think we've played it over and over over like a gazillion times. (I wonder if she still has it?). I brought their A Beautiful Letdown cassette (hey, CDs WAS expensive back then, and still is!) -for no reason I can remember, I brought two-, and have then been downloading their albums freely ;p.
The highlight of my fan-fare so far I think IS when I went to Bali last August 2012 with my bestie @fennyp to see the guys \^o^/. They are just beyond AHSOME!
Their latest album Vice Verses is really a masterpiece - IT IS!
Well, enough said. Here goes Restless, one of the amazing pieces in Vice Verses.
Written by Jon Foreman
From the album "Vice Verses (2011)"
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
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 saints and hypocrites
Oh, blood of black and white and grey
Oh, death in life and night in day
One by one by one
We let our rivers run
I can hear you breathing
I can feel you leading
More than just a feeling
More than just a feeling
I can feel you 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
Where tide and tear and pain subside
And 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
