trouble over me (lyrics)

Sunday, Sept. 01, 2002
I�ve outlasted everyone with my very awake pain.
I hate this feeling.
I wish I could bottle it and shoot arrows for decades
at the one person responsible for all of it....

I put this song on repeat...
I still can�t sleep. Here I go back to staring at the ceiling a little while longer�


Trouble Over Me

You�re not my boyfriend, I don�t want a boyfriend.
Just make a little trouble over me.
In your kitchen, on the way to your window, walking down your hallway.
Make some trouble over me.
I�ll play hard to get but if I mean it,
Just make a little trouble over me.
Leave me alone. Do what you want to.
See, I got some things on my mind.

Don�t treat me bad, that�s not what I�m asking
Look out your window, everyone�s in line
Paper truth in strings, hearts and broken things,
Love goes for quite a price.
I don�t want you for mine. Oh, but don�t we get along fine.

Tell me a secret before you meant to.
Worry what I�ll do. Trouble over me.
If you touch me, it�s only by accident.
Oh, wrists and fingertips, trouble over me.

In your kitchen, on the way to your window.
Walking down your hallway, make some trouble over me.
Button my coat up, stumble with your words some.
Let me think that you might go to a little
Trouble over me
Just a little.
Just a little trouble.
Just a little trouble over me.
