"The Trouble With Me"

The waters have all been so placid and calm,
the season for storms has been gone too long
up here on this cliff, thoughts of you, my love
can't you come up behind me and give me a shove?

I know that you're trouble: you told me enough
and you warned me I better not fall in love
well it's easy to see - I don't scoff, I believe
that you're trouble enough to keep

I want you to be
the trouble with me
you're the trouble I want to go through, always
I want you to keep me up sleepless nights
and put me through endless days and days

I want you to be
the trouble with me
I want to take all of your trouble, and stride
I won't lay you down for the rest of my life
I want you to be

the trouble with me

it's too long without trouble or burdens I've walked
If you don't cross my path, well I might as well stop
these arms are so empty, they might weigh a ton
my troubles alone aren't enough to go on

well I'm not the kind to go looking for strife
but I know I've been looking for you all my life
and as soon as I saw you, I knew it at once
I will take all of your kind of trouble that comes

I want you to be
the trouble with me
you're the trouble I want to go through, always
I want you to keep me up sleepless nights
and put me through endless days and days

I want you to be
the trouble with me
I want to take all of your trouble, and stride
I won't lay you down for the rest of my life
I want you to be

the trouble with me

and trouble shared is trouble halved, but I'll take double, thank you, please -
and all the trouble you can spare, I want it right now, here with me

I want you to be
the trouble with me
you're the trouble I want to go through, for keeps
all the trouble you are, all the trouble you have
is the trouble I want to be in
too deep
