Rest Your Head Lyrics
What are you really after?
What are you hoping to gain?
If nothing has ever pleased you
What makes you think you’ve changed?
You’re running in circles, darling
From bed back to bed
Tell me what you’re really after
Then, baby, just rest your head
Who are you really after?
Who you trying to find?
Who is that certain someone
That’s kept you awake all those nights?
You think it's just puzzle pieces
But they never fit right
If you can’t see who you’re really after
Then, baby, you're blind
Why are you always searching?
Why are you always undone?
You lurk in the darkest corners
Awaiting some heavenly ascension
You know you won’t find any liquor
Or that stuff your friend does
But c’mon, we’ve all had our stumbles
And some nights it almost feels like love
It feels like love
Now, now, now
It feels like love
So what are you really after?
Who are you trying to find?
Why are you so hard on yourself?
It’s only life, and its only tonight
I’ll pick up a six-pack at last call
We’ll stay up drinking in bed
You could tell me what you’re really after
Then, baby, just rest your head
Just rest your head
Now, now, now
Just rest your head
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, just rest your head
Just rest your head
Just rest your head
What are you hoping to gain?
If nothing has ever pleased you
What makes you think you’ve changed?
You’re running in circles, darling
From bed back to bed
Tell me what you’re really after
Then, baby, just rest your head
Who you trying to find?
Who is that certain someone
That’s kept you awake all those nights?
You think it's just puzzle pieces
But they never fit right
If you can’t see who you’re really after
Then, baby, you're blind
Why are you always undone?
You lurk in the darkest corners
Awaiting some heavenly ascension
You know you won’t find any liquor
Or that stuff your friend does
But c’mon, we’ve all had our stumbles
And some nights it almost feels like love
It feels like love
Now, now, now
It feels like love
Who are you trying to find?
Why are you so hard on yourself?
It’s only life, and its only tonight
I’ll pick up a six-pack at last call
We’ll stay up drinking in bed
You could tell me what you’re really after
Then, baby, just rest your head
Just rest your head
Now, now, now
Just rest your head
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, just rest your head
Just rest your head
Just rest your head

this whole album is fucking amazing, but it seems like an ongoing theme is one night stands, something along those lines.
this song is amazing. i am so pleased with the new album.
I love how this song builds up, the lines
Why are you so hard on yourself? It’s only life, and its only tonight
Are my favorite, really puts you at ease, this have been stuck in my head the last couple of days.
You lurk in the darkest corners Awaiting some heavenly ascension
