Lonely and Restless


I don’t miss the time that I gave up
I don’t wish for none of it back
I was lonely and restless once
Blowing smoke in the still air

We were drunk the nights that I loved you
I was sleeping on broken glass
I didn’t notice how far you had drifted
In your mind you were nowhere

Walking home at night in the Valley
Yellow light in the city sky
You were lonely and restless darling
Cars and people just blowing by

Said you’d call, I knew that you wouldn’t
Part of me wanted to cry
You were going somewhere I couldn’t
You were lost and so was I

I been moving from city to city
Watching time just rolling by
All the lonely and restless that I meet
Getting high just to feel alive

You were tired of going to the same job
You were wondering if that was it
Didn’t wanna start looking like your mom
Even though you already did

You were scared when you finally gave up
Me, I felt like a millionaire
We lonely and restless together
I didn’t think it would ever end

Digging holes and painting a ceiling
Anything for a little cash
Sleeping next to the church in your old car
While December was setting in

I was yours as much as I could be
I have a hard time remembering
Drinking wine every night til I couldn’t see
I wouldn’t change any bit of it

I don’t miss the time that I gave up
I don’t wish for none of it back
I was lonely and restless once
Some days I still am
