Terms Of My Surrender Lyrics - Terms Of My Surrender - John Hiatt

When the moon is rising and the night is still 

Some of my delusions have the power to kill 

Scared I'll get what I deserve 

Or maybe scared I won't 

I'm sitting in my garage staring at my motorcycle 

My heart is so heavy, like a stack of Bibles 

Swear I need you too much 

Baby, I swear I don't 

'Cause sometimes love can be so wrong 

Like a fat man in a thong 

It was shamelessly awake

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

I hold a seashell to my ear 

And winds of echoed dreams I hear 

Reverberations of yesterday 

I can be rough 

Sometimes I can be tender 

But I can't negotiate 

The terms of my surrender 

I love you too much, babe 

Go on and have your way with me 

Well, emperors and reigning kings 

Have showered you with golden rings 

Now I stand with my hat in my hand 

I know that I can't compete 

With ruthless men and satin sheets 

But I'm ready to meet your demands 

Photos 

Words of glory, and ashes and dust 

At the end of the story there's just us 

I love you too much, baby 

To ever say goodbye
