Trouble

Back before the buildings were worth Their weather weight in gold I'd have been a child but the city it was older then Those will be the days you'll find I drag behind me now If every day's a warning well we never heed it right Sure the towers were standing But one was darkness and one was light And we took our chances Went to valentine's dances that night One upon a gamble I met a man who couldn't win Just another lonely driver with carbon copy sin It might have been a thing he read But what he said to me was Everybody's trouble That's a bet you that you won't lose Trouble that you're born with And the trouble that you choose I know that you see me as the girl but by the the way Half the time I'm just the key That comes and locks the girl away File that will all the hits With back flips and party tricks it stays Were you born a miracle On the slick and rocky coast? Were you born a second child Who your father loved the most? Were your first and crooked steps The best of any mile? Did you grow to be The mild master of the feast? Did you learn to sleep Beneath a quilt of your beliefs? And would you know this If you woke up cold because the whole truth is Everybody's trouble That's a bet you that you won't lose Trouble that you're born with And the trouble that you choose
