Lyrics

On My Pillow

You’ve heard it all before 

Every time you walk the floor

All the guys jump up  

To break the ice 

With your face I see 

You crave a fresh diplomacy 

A lack of arrogance  

Should fit your type 

 

It’s not a test you need to take 

Rest your head on my pillow 

It’s not a quest you need to make 

Rest your head on my pillow 

You’ll be impressed 

You’ll be amazed 

All night long 

Just rest your head on my pillow 

 

You’ve seen it all before 

Every time you touch the door 

All the boys pop up  

To roll the dice 

As a courtesy  

You need a man’s philosophy 

Two parts of tenderness 

Three parts of spice 

 

It’s not a test you need to take 

Rest your head on my pillow 

It’s not a quest you need to make 

Rest your head on my pillow 

You’ll be impressed 

You’ll be amazed 

All night long 

Just rest your head on my pillow 

 

Always be discrete 

Love unfolds in many ways 

Sweep you off your feet 

I can say 

Only when complete 

It should take your breath away 

Leave you craving for some more 

Don’t let your heart get in the way 

 

In those curves I see 

You were born a prodigy 

Your lines so feminine 

Your shape divine 

The way you fill that dress 

It’s more than fair that you request 

A glass of faith 

To sip by candlelight 

 

It’s not a test you need to take 

Rest your head on my pillow 

It’s not a quest you need to make 

Rest your head on my pillow 

You’ll be impressed 

You’ll be amazed 

All night long 

Just rest your head on my pillow 

 

It’s not a test you need to take 

Rest your head on my pillow 

It’s not a quest you need to make

Rest your head on my pillow 

You’ll be impressed 

You’ll be amazed 

All night long 

Just rest your head on my pillow 

Just rest your head on my pillow 

Just rest your head on my pillow 

On my pillow 

On my pillow 

Rest your head on my pillow 

On my pillow 

It's Over

You stare in my direction

With tension in your eyes

The lack of your affection

Increases with the night


In some ways I’ve known for days

I try so hard to understand

That love must come in waves

It hurts so much to say


It’s over now

You’re gone forever

I’m all alone

You won’t be coming home


I saw you at the corner

The sunlight in your eyes

Your hand it held another

Your gift of love not mine


The old days seem so far away

I try so hard to understand

That love must come in waves

It hurts so much to say


It’s over now

You’re gone forever

I’m all alone

You won’t be coming home

Anymore


My slow ways or how I behave

I try so hard to understand

That love must come in waves

It hurts so much to say


It’s over now

You’re gone forever

I’m all alone

You won’t be coming home

Anymore


You won’t be coming home

Anymore

I've Got the Moves

We’ll make the grade

With the words I say

That lift you like

No other


Now don’t hold back

There won’t be traps

To interfere

With my love


Anybody worth their weight

Can see the price you’ve paid

Here’s my hand

Let’s take that leap of faith

Together


I’ve got the moves

That’ll keep you off of lonely street

I’ve got the moves

To tickle that frown

I’ve got the moves

Like your favorite song with the perfect beat

I’ve got the moves

To tickle that frown


Well it’s often said

That chivalry is dead

Well I’m here to voice

The other


I’ll aim with truth

I’ll only spend my nights with you

And reinforce

All my love


Anybody worth their weight

Can see the price you’ve paid

Here’s my hand

Let’s take that leap of faith

Together


I’ve got the moves

That’ll keep you off of lonely street

I’ve got the moves

To tickle that frown

I’ve got the moves

Like your favorite song with the perfect beat

I’ve got the moves

To tickle that frown


Cause I know that you’re ripe for the taking

But I’ve never liked bitter company

So you better take my hand

We’ll move to the promised land

Just agree with what I say 

Believe in all that I crave 

Cause baby


I’ve got the moves

That’ll keep you off of lonely street

I’ve got the moves

To tickle that frown

I’ve got the moves

Like your favorite song with the perfect beat

I’ve got the moves

To tickle that frown

That frown

To tickle that frown

Hey babe well I’ve got the moves

It's Not Enough

I know that I love you

You’re the girl of my dreams

I’ll show you how I can give you anything

I could gather a sunrise

And place it in your hands

Just to prove I’m no ordinary man

You tell our fortune with your eyes

What a marvelous surprise


I will ferry you through paradise

Between the drops of rain

I will lift you to the heavens 

So you can touch the Milky Way

I will comfort you at night

Tell you my life I’ll give you twice


But it’s not enough

No no, No no, It’s not enough

It’s not enough

No no, No no, It’s not enough


I’m not wealthy or famous

But if I were a king

I would bow then give you anything

All the snow on the mountains

That melts into the sea

Every day my love for you runs out of me

But I restore it with your smiles

I’ll collect them for a while


I will ferry you through paradise

Between the drops of rain

I will lift you to the heavens 

So you can touch the Milky Way

I will comfort you at night

Tell you my life I’ll give you twice


But it’s not enough

No no, No no, It’s not enough

It’s not enough

No no, No no, It’s not enough

It’s not enough

No no, No no, It’s not enough

It’s not enough

No no


It will never be enough for me

I’ll love you for eternity

Block your pain

Take the blame

Shield you from those walks of shame

If you ever need a warm embrace

I’ll be there

If you ever need a friendly face

I’ll be there

If you ever need a warm embrace

I’ll be there

If you ever need a friendly face

I’m always there

Knock Me Down

I’m in a pinch

I need a pro’s attention

Got confused

Gave the wrong extension

Crossed the lines

Now there’s no time

To call the high command


I want to pout

But should I even bother

I missed the days

Just before I saw her

All was fine

I had peace of mind

And everything in hand


You tell me

You tell me I’m your kind of man

Then you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again

You tell me

You tell me I’m your kind of man

Then you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again

I’m trying

I’m trying hard to understand


I want to shout

But I can’t even swallow

Hand at my chest

It’s feeling kind of hollow

The bottom line

I’m not inclined 

To verbalize her plan


This painted scene

Shows valleys full of sorrow

The full collapse of bridges always borrowed

To span the need of thoughtless deeds

As wide as they are sad


You tell me

You tell me I’m your kind of man

Then you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again

You tell me

You tell me I’m your kind of man

Then you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again

I’m trying

I’m trying hard to understand


It suddenly occurs to me

I feel like I’m adrift at sea

Like a bottle and a note in search of land

I’ll tip my hat to all I know

I’ll catch a breeze for points unknown

I’m lost to the abyss

A broken man


You tell me

You tell me I’m your kind of man

Then you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again


You tell me

You tell me I’m your kind of man

Then you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again

I’m trying

I’m trying hard to understand


Why you share a little piece of your heart

Share it with another man

Why you share a little piece of your heart

Share it with another man

Why you share a little piece of your heart

You knock me down again

Separate Ways

There are moments in our lives we must remember

While the heart provides a gate to forget

In this battle most shun pain and favor pleasure

Some spin the wheel of no regrets


I’m not sure if that’s the way to play it

I cast a shadow filled with tears that never shines

But it provides me with the space I need for healing

From the timely words you spoke that final night


I see things through your eyes

You’re always on my mind

But then I hear you say

You know we have to go our separate ways

I’m tired and I’m crying

From leaving you behind

You know we have to go our separate ways


I’ve embraced our time together

To claim some days aren’t tough would be a lie

Your lessons from the heart are what I treasure

A diagram to build a better life


No one lives forever

But there’s a part of me I know will never die

It surrounds me like a shield from stormy weather

Created by a flame from deep inside


I see things through your eyes

You’re always on my mind

But then I hear you say

You know we have to go our separate ways

I’m tired and I’m crying

From leaving you behind

You know we have to go our separate ways


Separate ways

Separate ways


I’m not prepared to face the pain

Every time I hear your name

Excuse me but it’s happening again


I see things through your eyes

You’re always on my mind

But then I hear you say

You know we have to go our separate ways

I’m tired and I’m crying

From leaving you behind

You know we have to go our separate ways


I see things through your eyes

You’re always on my mind

You know we have to go our separate ways

Toss a shooting star

Show me where you are

You know we have to go our separate ways

I'll Play Surrender

I really don’t care what face you wear

The disconnect, the rosy stare

You never need to compromise

Should I stand up straight or sit right down

I’ll never hesitate to hit the ground

I’ll gladly be your pawn for life


Anytime you want I’ll jump

Even though you say you will then you don’t

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender

Call your bluff, invest my time

Even though you lead me on with your lies

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender


There’s no turning back, my mind’s made up

I’ve sealed my fate, you’re like a drug

Your abuse is hard to find

An unlikely pair, I’m proud to boast

Climb aboard, I’ll be your host

Your fantasies I will provide


Anytime you want I’ll jump

Even though you say you will then you don’t

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender

Call your bluff, invest my time

Even though you lead me on with your lies

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender


Life is hard, too hard

When you’re on your own

So so hard, it’s hard

When you’re all alone

Quite rooms, without you

Are not very demanding

Empty halls, their walls 

Echo with abandon


Anytime you want I’ll jump

Even though you say you will then you don’t

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender

Call your bluff, invest my time

Even though you lead me on with your lies

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender

Anytime you want I’ll play 

Surrender

The Best Defense

I guess it’s time to stand alone

A little

Find a space outside the zone

A little

To over analyze

It’s always been a fault of mine

My life, it needs repair


I guess it’s time to pack my bag

A little

Find a map then take a stab

A little

To always criticize

It sure has been a fault of mine

My life, it needs repair


No matter where you are

The distance, whether near or far

The words ignite me like a spark

You always said 

The best defense is love


I’ve been so blessed to even know

A little

Why take this quest out on the road

A little

To over analyze

It’s always been a fault of mine

My life, it’s in repair


No matter where you are

The distance, whether near or far

The words ignite me like a spark 

You always said 

The best defense is 


Love

Might bite a little

Love

Could split you down the middle

Save the memories 

That make you smile in all degrees

Love

Might not be civil

Love

Could play you like a fiddle

Share the memories 

That make you cry in all degrees


It’s time to stand alone

A little

Find my space outside the zone

A little

What we had might still survive

Let’s hope the scars will heal with time

My life, it’s in repair


No matter where you are

The distance, whether near or far

The words ignite me like a spark

You always said 

The best defense is love


No matter where you are

The distance, whether near or far

The words ignite me like a spark

You always said 

The best defense is love

The best defense is love

The best defense is love

The best defense is love


I guess it’s time to stand alone

A little
