“Trouble,” is the closing song to this incredible Album. We feel the closing labyrinthine mess of emotions, finding the beauty in pain and the pain in beauty. In “Trouble,” Cullen, fittingly, proclaims that “Looking back, I think that I loved you too much.” Throughout the album, the overall emotion...
[Verse 1]
Whenever I'm alone I feel your ghost
Your presence is known, I already know too much
What you did in your past life, it's no business of mine
I would join you and all, but I'm starting to tell we'll be fine
[Chorus]
Can't be left alone
We were barely home
I could tell by the look on your face
You were trouble
Take it step by step
It was something you said and
Then you leaned into me
How didn't I see
You were trouble?
You're not unlovable
[Verse 2]
Looking back
I think that I loved you too much
I was tearing you apart
Right from the start
We were destined to fail
I don't know where to begin
Look at the trouble I'm in
I could've avoided this mess
If I'd wanted you less
But you got me all to yourself
[Interlude: Ronald Reagan]
Well, perhaps there is a simple answer, not an easy answer. You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness. We will keep in mind and remember that Barry Goldwater has faith in us. He has faith that you and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny
