"Restless Legs" lyrics

"Restless Legs"

Lying on the floor
The sun is going down
Here on Bayview Street
We talk about the week
How the baby won't sleep

How lucky that we are
That when we're lying in bed
I can hear your breath
My restless legs

Running in the night
And I'm thinking bout love
How when it won't wake up
It just ups and leaves

By the time you've stirred at half past 9
You'll see my empty drawers pulled out in the night
You can act surprised, but you knew all along
Oh, trust me once I'm gone
You'll wonder why it took so long

But god it caught me like a cold
Thinking I know how that feels
Sleeping at the wheel
Dreaming bout a change

But I hope that's never us
'Cause it's everything I know
And you tell me that it's not
It's just that they forgot
It's bittersweet

Watched you leave at half past 8
Saw you fold your things and be on your way
And I'll act surprised, but I knew all along
Trust me once you've gone
You'll wonder why it took so long

Why it took so long
Where did we go wrong?
Why it took so long
Where did we go wrong?

Lying on the floor
Here on Bayview Street
Takes a town to raise a kid
More than you'd admit
My restless legs
