Trouble

Shawn Colvin

Baby let me set you down 
You look so troubled and I think I know 
Just when you think you've come around 
There you go   

Now I know the business of the heart 
And it'll get you anyway it can 
You need someone to walk with in the dark, well 
I'm your man   

I go to the trouble like a magnet 
That's where I'll be 
Trouble is just a place to sing 
It's what you need   

I swear you look like you're in jail 
And all at once you're halfway out the door 
One foot dancing, one foot nailed 
To the floor   

Chasing those circles in the ground 
The same old shit is still the same old lie 
Just when you think you've got it down 
Watch it fly   

I go to the trouble like a light 
Or like a dare 
Trouble is just a friend to me, I know 
It'll always be there   

It's really hard to make your peace 
So give me some credit for the hell I've paid 
This world's a blessing and a beast 
Everyday

So come on baby let me show you how 
The less you know the more I comprehend 
You don't have to drag me down 
I descend   

I go to the trouble and I like it 
That's where I'll be 
Trouble is just like love, if it's half the way 
It's all I can see 
And it's just what you need
