RESTLESS
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, restless, 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
Restless

I'm an atheist, but this is what Christianity is supposed to be, and it's absolutely beautiful.

[@niquept]

I have never been more inspired by a a band. I am a Poser most days as a Christian. I will be honest. But this feels like my time with my GOD.

Great reminder

[@trooperkeither]

This quote sticks in my head every time I hear this song. One of my favorites for sure!

Switchfoot is the most mature band that I know of. They make good music.

[@Kotabear97]

I first heard of this band from someone at my church. I love their music. But just so everybody knows, It's not a band just for Christians. It's just a band, that plays music for everyone. Christian or not. Never the less, this band will always be my favorite.

[@CherieSauers]

I still listen to the best Christian band in my life time.they change my whole world . thank you for every thing. God bless all of your lives. Cherie s.

[@CSPrice]

For all of us insomniatic engineering students out there perusing the youtublies, I just want to say something a friend of mine told me recently. He said it's okay to have questions, that it's not always bad to be conflicted within. Ya see, without questions, we never find the answers. Without conflicts, there are no resolutions. God wants us to be honest about the strife in our hearts and to ask for help when we need it. It shows that we trust him with more than we did before. It also strengthens our existing resolve. Godspeed you guys, and God bless Switchfoot for encouraging college kids like me.

[@yefersonortiz8140]

Quite so!

[@zoe8189]

Completely agree! it´s what im always thought -I´m sure Jon Foreman couldn´t say it better .

[@fidauciha]

Amen

[@Jeremy-ul4ph]

Wow amen

[@robertgroen2197]

King David: PRIME EXAMPLE :)

[@GBW175]

I will NEVER forget the first time I saw Switchfoot. It was in Midland, Texas. It was stupid hot but that didn’t slow down the audience. The band took the stage just after dark. When this song began, a young boy in his dad’s shoulders was summoned to walk closer to the security barrier so Jim Foreman while standing no more than 24” away sang directly to the boy face to face. Talk about making a HUGE impact on a vulnerable young life at a critical time! I was stage right as my son’s band (39 Thoughts) was the feature band of the three day event. I watched with tears in my eyes. Tears for the boy. Tears for the father. Tears of appreciation for Jon & rest of the band, stage crew and audience. All standing as a spotlight of hope in this dark world we live in. Epic. ❤

Thank you 🙏❤

[@hesaiigarcia9720]

Please never stop making music for God 😪 I need this

[@thiagojoserodrigues777]

Hesaii Garcia we need, God bless you

[@rahulpanda9102]

Switchfoot and Christian music. ... The band has always philosophically disagreed with this label; "We're Christian by faith, not genre," Tim Foreman explained to Rolling Stone magazine in 2003. Says Jon Foreman, "We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from

[@xhslindey]

@@rahulpanda9102 yeah we know let people enjoy I listen to them because they sing about my favorite things and the most important is that in a lot of their lyrics they're singing about God and that is what she or he was talking about

[@ingridmatias9300]

This is my healing song. There are no bad feelings that Restless isn't able to heal. Thanks Switchfoot for it! Love this band with all my heart!

[@crisfc746]

In spanish? Please jiji

[@rebaetherton]

The first time I heard this song, I felt Jesus was singing to me, looking for me...knowing I was lost but I now hear it both ways my soul crying out for Him and waiting :) Love it and missed your concert here in Siloam Springs Ar., as at the time couldn't afford to be there, awesome song, carry on guys :) great worship, love and blessings to you all!

[@Tagukon]

It took me 28 years after I become a Christian to find my own purpose and formulate my own eternal mission statement.

[@lilly_rose_777]

I'm a few years behind you bro, but I don't even have words or feelings for how it feels, other than #restless fr

[@lilly_rose_777]

Still trying to find it

[@Tagukon]

@@lilly_rose_777 I found it after reading 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey. It’s an old book but the principles are timeless and most importantly self-evident!

[@meggrotte4760]

I understand it's been 32 years.I've been walking with the Lord for thirty-two years. This band came out in 97 About two years ago , god just flipped a switch We have to go after him hard.We have to keep our eyes on jesus He's coming back soon

[@ThomasJayOord]

Every time I hear this song I think of Augustine: "My heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee."

[@ebaby69]

I'm a guy yet I teared when I watched/listened to this song. We write songs about the never ending search for love or "The One" when we fail to realize that God had planted eternity in us and set us free.....knowing that we were born to restlessly search for a way back to Him.

[@MrMprint]

2:49 When the guys were playing in the ocean I could not help but think of the feeling of meeting long lost family and friends on the "Sea of Glass" in Heaven someday. "Until the Sea of Glass we meet / our lives completed and complete / where tide and tear and pain subside / and laughter drinks them dry..."

[@Ishankur_Borkotoky]

I am not a christian and it does not matter to me if switchfoot is a christian band or not.i believe in the power of music.how it reaches and moves your soul and i love switchfoot because their music is so.They make good, honest music which you can feel,relate and love..

[@favourites4]

My teenage son introduced me to Switchfoot several years ago and they have become my favourite group. Their lyrics inspire me every time I hear them to remain restless in seeking God's presence and purpose in my life. This song fires me up every time. Thank you Switchfoot and keep making truly great music!

[@leslieasaiah-asher]

The true state of the human being - in a constant of restlessness. A powerful song.

[@ZiaaCiel]

I'm Christian, and I know it's hard to find Christians who don't judge non-Christians. A lot of Christians have lost sight of what their faith calls them to do: respect and love everyone, regardless of their religion and lifestyle. Nowhere does the Bible say to support other religions or lifestyles, but it does say to love one another and that is what I try to do. I respect the fact that you would post that on a Christian song, and you should take what YOU want from the music. :)

[@ColtsFan1912]

it's hard to put into words how much this song means to me.

[@NeatoboyAus]

This is my favourite Switchfoot song of all time!

[@ingridmatias9300]

I feel exactly the same!

[@rhoadesmichael8360]

i feel the same i like the singers too

[@rickygay1233]

You don't have to. I feel it too.

[@surewhynotverysure1504]

Same.

[@mananacl]

"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" That, I believe, is what you call @#$^*$*!^#@& poetry.

[@sandrapittman3604]

love this band. Great lyrics that we all can relate in each walk of life. No matter where you are in your life, there is hope and a Savior that is always by your side no matter what you have done or where you are he is there. Amen!!!

[@connorkenway3636]

Amen

[@punkaj82]

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll… minus the sex and drugs. Who knew it was possible? Thanks Switchfoot.

[@ColtsFan1912]

I agree 100%.The music that Switchfoot has brought me closer to God in so many ways.

[@ThePlagueGameing]

We WILL be restless until we see Jesus face to face!!!. ❤

[@abigailtaylor7850]

this song makes my soul feel alive

[@dcallahan119]

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS WITH JONATHAN!

[@guisircili]

I cry everytime I watch this, but at the same time I'm smiling and laughing... It's such an awesome experience.

[@ThePlagueGameing]

thanks for posting the lyrics! yes sir. even after becoming a Christian, we hunger for that deeper relationship with Him don't we?. thank God for the holy Spirit!

[@ThePlagueGameing]

And we should long for that deeper relationship!! ❤❤❤

[@JohnnyGThenewsforyou]

I Love Switchfoot boy what I would do to meet them in person I only listen to Switchfoot.Live it,listen to it,love it!!!!Switchfoot is my life I love u guys!!!!

[@themysteryinbetween]

This song has the best video, an lead out of every other song of theirs.

[@lowalevchuck9499]

I love them too. I can listening them everyday and it wouldn't bore me.

[@golilrach]

didn't think I would ever like rock but this really changed men

[@TheNinthDoctor]

That beautiful, painful, exquisite ache...

[@italian0stephan013]

I could listen to Switchfoot all day...Oh wait....I did.

Truly awe-inspiring, Jon has such a great talent in writing from his heart, you can feel it.

[@adriannepiper2446]

Thank-you for this beautiful worship song. It always comforts me

[@AbbySantana]

Switchfoot is just so unique... and Jon Foreman is the best song-writer ever... I can't doubt his songs are inspired by God, they reach the deepest part of our hearts. God bless them all, and Happy Birthday Jon Foreman 10/22/12

[@hpav92]

This song should be listened to so much more...

[@kristenhenry7958]

Okay seriously the whole world needs to hear this song. This is beautiful!

[@AbbyMarie93]

You are quite right! I don't know why I put it that way, but I totally agree with you.

[@fan4twilight09]

I think about my anxiety whenever I hear this as well. This is how I feel about God sometimes restless and always looking, feeling lost. Jon sings with such soul and passion reminds me God is real

[@kalmarfanatic04]

This has been my heart's cry lately 🥺

[@zoe8189]

Actually, i am restless. But listening this song makes me feel a dep deep peace. I can rest in God's hands!

[@ColtsFan1912]

it's amazing how many time I can't speak the words in my heart. ..& I come to listen to Switchfoot & find they had all the words I couldn't say

[@jacksonroark7580]

this is kinda wirid but I thought he meant he was looking for me! I cried my eyes out every time it played on the radio.i know [ego check]but have you ever thought there was someone else there espesaly when your alone?Jesus is everywhere!.

[@rlday1845]

I get it. I CRIED WHEN I SAW THE WEDDING RING ON HIS FINGER IN THIS VIDEO!!! GOD BLESS HIS WIFE AND HIS MARRIAGE! LUCKY WOMAN.. THOUGH SHE SACRIFICES ALOT

[@deoilers]

Jon has the cutest eyes!

[@hcrcoco]

I don't know how Jon Foreman knows how i feel and express it in a song =,)

[@markbelmares8012]

This has less than 1M views?! What has this world come to???

Arguing about everything white people say and do being racist, seriously.

1.3 M now :)

[@godlifetessemekasandra9663]

I rather not expect for people to know them because the less people the more we get to enjoy. It is how enjoy music..

[@rickygay1233]

They are underrated, but I'm glad I discovered them 5 years ago. Thank God. . . 🙏🙌🙏

[@fatimaoliverosmartinez2943]

I can't stop to listening.... Oh my God, is so beautifulllll!!!!! ♥

[@simonyone]

What a great song! It always reminds me that at times we search and search and he is always there. God is everywhere is always provides deep love and acceptance. It can be difficult to see that at times when things of the world get in the way but he WILL ALWAYS pick you up and GIVE YOU LOVE!

[@doyoukazootoo]

I wouldn't agree that they've broken away from it. Yeah i hear Dark Horses or Bullet Soul on the alt stations every once in a while, but they won a Grammy for best Gospel Rock album for Hello Hurricane. and it was bittersweet.Because it's awesome they won a Grammy, and you know Jon and the boys were super grateful, but you know they would much rather be nominated for best rock album. Because that's what they are: a rock band. They know they aren't what they could be.

[@SWITCHLOV]

i loooooveeeeeee this song soooooooooooooo much the first time i heard this i was crying it inspired me soooooo muuuuuuuchhhhhh..... i still cry when i hear it i just want to thank SWITCHFOOT for all their hard work and their great music i realllly looovvvvveeeee you guys your the bbbbeeeeeesssssttttt ever!!!!!!! i hope i go 2 one of your concerts some day good luck with everything i love u guys!!!

[@Gogies777]

Not a person of faith here,but this song is well made,came from the heart and came from the inner deapths Jon`s soul im sure.very inspiring.

[@cadetpigeon14]

Switchfoot was my first concert. 10 years following this band and they still blow me away every time

[@MrOut4astroll]

i dont know if you read this, but your music helped keep me going through some tough times in my life. In my teen years i was always afraid i was going to let down my friends, my family, my church, my God. I was so afraid, so embarrassed. " maybe redemption is stories o tell. maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where do you run to escape from yourself?" We all mess up. He meets you where you fall. ty

[@mojoribs]

amazing lloovee this band sooo much its all i listen to haha

[@tommytomtomtom2646]

I can listen to you guys all day long and still love your songs

[@cookiecloudy]

I think people can interpret this song any way they want, just the way they relate to this song. I am Muslim, by the way. I can make this song about God, or about the love of my life I am still waiting for. I have the choice for that and I'm using it.

[@enfrancaissilvousplait9034]

I agree people can take this song any way they want, but if you know the biblical scriptures it's very plain to see Who it is he is waiting for.

[@cookiecloudy]

Which is precisely my point. For someone who doesn't know any biblical scripture, I draw from something else to interpret this song :)

[@Sad_Reverb_Boi]

yep, and actually Jon himself has said that this is exactly the point of their music, that anyone can relate to it some way and give it their own meaning.

[@cookiecloudy]

+Jonathan Peña Exactly. I know other artists who have said the same thing as well, it's up to the listeners to interpret.

[@scars73]

+cookiecloudy God bless you brother. I'm a Christian and Christians need to stop telling people what to believe. I am glad this song blessed you. Jon leaves it open to interpretation. It may be Jesus for him, but it doesn't have to be for others. God bless you all.

Love this totally describes me right now
