Restless Lyrics by Penelope Tree

The Scenes You Create

2016

[Intro]
We sat out in the sun, said you hadn't felt this good in forever
Stopped me falling asleep, said this night will always be one
For us to remember

[Verse 1]
Going through all the motions
It's making me sick and tired of caring
Wore my heart on my sleeve, tailored to me
All you saw was a tacky tattoo
Colored in deep red, worn out and faded
Not a scratch on what it used to be
Going through all the motions
I can't see

[Chorus]
Why'd you do it?
Just what you're doing to me
When you pursue
Never could just let it be
You hold on to the past like you're passive aggressive
Towards your own memories
But why'd you do it?
Can't you see it's making me restless?

[Verse 2]
We sat out in your yard
All these games that you're playing their making me sick (Sick)
And mess with my head 'til I'm just not the same
Like I said, you've only got yourself to blame
I was only ever a phone call away

[Chorus]
But why'd you do it?
Just what you're doing to me
When you pursue
Never could just let it be
You hold on to the past like you're passive aggressive
Towards your own memories
But why'd you do it?
Can't you see it's making me restless?
It's making me Restless
It's making me Restless
It's making me Restless

[Outro]
I woke up by myself
Arms wrapped 'round a pillow
Lonely in your house
There's a note on the side and it said
"Let yourself out"
