Lyrics

Restless Heart
© 2024 Michael Hanson Cantwell

Verse 1:
Mama always warned me, "Girl, don't dance with the flames,"
But I've been chasing sparks, playing dangerous games.
Thought I'd find a treasure, something to make me whole,
But now I'm lost in the fire, burning out my soul.

Pre-Chorus:
I've been tempting fate, walking on the line,
Every step I take, I'm running out of time.
Should've heeded the signs, slowed down my pace,
But now I'm face to face with the choices I can't erase.

Chorus:
Ain't no rest for a restless heart,
Running wild through the dark, chasing sparks.
Never satisfied, always wanting more,
Ain't no rest for a restless heart, forever searching for more.

Verse 2:
Daddy said, "Girl, don't gamble with your dreams,"
But I've been rolling dice, tearing at the seams.
Built my hopes on wishes, stacked them high and proud,
But now the wind's howling, and it's all coming down.

Pre-Chorus:
I've been dancing on the edge, flirting with the flame,
Every move I make, just adding fuel to the game.
Should've played it safe, kept my feet on the ground,
But now I'm caught in the storm, no way to turn around.

Chorus:
Ain't no rest for a restless heart,
Running wild through the dark, chasing sparks.
Never satisfied, always wanting more,
Ain't no rest for a restless heart, forever searching for more.

Bridge:
Now I'm pulling up roots, planting fire in their place,
No more looking back, setting my own pace.
No more shadows to chase, no more chains to break,
Coming out guns blazing, got nothing left to fake.

Chorus:
Ain't no rest for a restless heart,
Running wild through the dark, chasing sparks.
Never satisfied, always wanting more,
Ain't no rest for a restless heart, forever searching for more.

Chorus:
Ain't no rest for a restless heart,
Running wild through the dark, chasing sparks.
Never satisfied, always wanting more,
Ain't no rest for a restless heart, forever searching for more.

Outro:
No rest for a restless heart, never standing still,
Ain't no rest for a restless heart, chasing that endless thrill.
