Troublesome - The Jealous Sound

All this could be

How can I decide?

Call it all a loss as we try it on for size

And how can I believe I can be so brave?

And I can never stop

I can never save

Someone is searching

Calling your name

Wanting and willing are one in the same

With all things aside

I’m calm when I confide

You’re always in my thoughts

My stomach tied in knots

These days become the week

These weeks become our lives

Hanging overhead

Uncertain, I arrive

It’s open and closing

Closing again

Startled and stunning

But I can pretend

And I’ve seen troublesome

And I dig myself a grave

And I’ll be done

And how could I believe I could ever change?

The burden that you’ve built, well, I’ve rearranged

Kool-Aid and Camels

Standing in line

A bottle of something for $ 5.49

No one can say it

Know that you lied

There’s nothing beneath me

I can’t decide

Is everything escape?

Is everything alone?

Afraid to be awake

Afraid to use the phone

They’re calling and calling and calling again

Why don’t you answer?

Where have you been?

Pick up this once, just please

Pick up this once for me

We bleed to death

The first aid kit

We cut our hands as we open it

Nothing will help us

Nothing will do

Nothing has meaning

Nothing but you

And I’ve seen troublesome

And I dig myself a grave

And I’ll be done

With a call, they’ve sent for you

With heads bowed

Never dreamt what I could do

No shame now

And mother dreams for you

Father’s words are few

The hope that they can have

Never dreamt what I could do

It’s all in the dark

It’s all that I despise

We bleed to death

The first aid kit

We cut our hands as we open it

Nothing will help us

Nothing will do

Nothing has meaning

Nothing but you

And I’ve seen troublesome

And I dig myself a grave

And I’ll be done

With a call, they’ve sent for you

With heads bowed

Never dreamt what I could do

No shame now
