Restless Heart

got me a good man
got me a good man
and I give him my love and attention just as much as I can
got us a good home
got us a good home
but my baby he leaves all the time yes he leaves me there alone
I know you've heard this before baby
but you don't know what you've got til it's gone
and I know I've told you this before baby
but you don't know what you've got til it's gone
(so let me tell you what you gotta do
you just gotta)
whisper sweet things
whisper sweet things
all I want is your love and attention
I don't need no diamond rings
give me your love
give me your love
all I want is for us to be all of the
things that we dreamed of
I know you've told me this before baby
but you don't know what you've got til it's gone
and I know I've told you this before baby
but you don't know what you got til it's gone
If you just woulda done a few simple things babe
we could've taken this to the end
to the end of the world
but babe I've got a restless heart
got me a restless heart
and babe when you leave all the time
yes it tears it all apart
baby it's time to go
baby it's time for me to go
and let's not mourn for the past baby
because you reap just what you sew
I know you've heard this before
I know you've heard this all before
this is nothing new
I know I've told you this all before
you don't know what you got til it's gone
and I know I've told you this before
I've told you one time, two times, three times
you don't know whatcha got
you don't know what you

The Stand
03:21
|

I want to be much more than I am
I have to take a stand
it's time for you to let go of my hand
I have to take a stand
I stood by you through thick and thin
I trusted you like a best friend
I loved you more than maybe you will every understand
but I'm hopin that you can
cus I need to fly now as high as I can
I have to take a stand
my heart's on fire, I must cool the flame
it's time to stake a claim
I'm liable to burn down this whole house and my name
unless I stake a claim
we break our promises daily
and we make excuses, well we'll see
if we wait every moment like water dripping down the drain
wasted all away
so let's burn these mistakes and put them out in the rain
it's time to stake a claim
the day so long
but I can't see the light
I must take back the night
these hopes so old but still by my side
I must take back the night
how long have I dreamt to be free
and strong enough to believe
I was wrong to have given up so long before the fight
now I long to make things right
so I lay me down or take to the sky
I must take back the night
I must take back the night
I must take back the night
I must take back the night

Smell Like You
03:38
|
|||
I'm never a victim of random combustion
but when you tossed me that look it felt like a grenade
I usually toss out pins on a whim but you stumped me
out from behind my guns I don't know how to behave
and I said oooooh
I still smell like you
and my tear stains are all gone with your presence
I choke on the essence of all of your sentiments

The Illusion
04:26
|
|||
lately I've been looking for the answers from above
maybe I've been questioning your true undying love
could it be that you don't believe
in all of the sweet love songs that we used to sing?
maybe I've been trying too hard to look and talk and act real tough
maybe I'm just angry cus you ain't trying hard enough
maybe I'm just searching for a cure
for our love that used to be so wild and free and pure
and it's got me asking why
why should I give in to the illusion
give me a reason this'll work out fine
I need a reason this'll work out fine
cus I feel as though I'm losing my mind
I want this to be the way that it used to be
when we were so young and in love and so wild and carefree
I want this to be just like the bliss of our first kiss
oh babe, tell me how to get way back where we used to be
maybe I just need to settle down
cus I'm tired of running ragged all around this same damn town
so maybe I
can give in to the illusion
maybe that is reason enough it'll work out fine
but babe can you be the thing that I truly believe in
can you be the reason this'll work out fine
I need a reason this'll work out fine
give me a reason this'll work out fine
cus I feel as though we're wasting all our time
(cus baby good love is hard to find)

Love To Pin Me Down
05:01
|
|||
I'm a sucker for chasing
always love a good chase
then I find myself running
always running away
there's no use in trying
in trying to stay
every time I give up on love
it always winds up the same
so hey, I can wait for love to pin me down
my eyes have grown tired searching for what cannot be found
I've seen good
I want great
and good things come to those who wait
I will bide my sweet time flying around
waiting for love to pin me down
I'm a sucker for placing
always first in line
I'm never complacent
like a young sweet wine
but then I find myself rushing forward like a bull
and this lack of patience is taking (is taking is taking is taking) it's toll
so hey, I can wait for love to pin me down
my eyes have grown tired searching for what cannot be found
I've seen good
I want great
and good things come to those who wait
I will bide my sweet time flying around
waiting for love to pin me down
it's a question of value
and a question of worth
and all of the beauty
on this wide green earth
but I feel like a flower
trapped down in a dark place
and I'm ready to go out
and let the sun shine upon my face
so hey I can wait for love to pin me down
my eyes have grown tired searching for what cannot be found
I've seen good
I want great
and good things come to those who wait
I will bide my sweet time flying around
and around and around and around
waiting for love to pin me down
waiting for love
waiting for love
to pin me down

Creatures of Habit
04:17
|
|||
moving on is never easy
when you are where you want to be
but we are creatures
we are creatures of habit
made my last cup of coffee
cleared the shelves
no traces of me
grabbed my things and slipped the key under the door
did you notice that I done this before
an eye for an eye
a tooth for a tooth
I should have known
should have seen it
in the way you made me fall
but as for I
how could I have realized
we are older
change comes slower
if it comes at all
will you still want to see me
will your next one be just like me
cus we are creatures
we are creatures of habit
making history just to repeat it
we are creatures
we are creatures of habit
and we were a good one
you may struggle to break it
