Troublemaker

(album: The Proximity Effect - 1998)

Why do I feel bad again?
I shouldn't be sad or miss a grin
Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out
Skews the view from my cloud

Troublemaker tempting fate
Questioning the path I take
Showing me the twists and turns
The forks and points of no return

I would hold my breath so long
To wash ashore where I belong

Broken roses on the steps
Like promises I never kept
Promises I never made
But could have honored anyway
Tied to years, slave to fears
I will always hold you dear
Tired, troubled but sincere
Wishing... fuck the rhyme
Wishing I had a time
To wish you mine

Every day I choose to spend the rest of my life with her
And every day I break the molds of lives and worlds
I already miss the things that I will never know
I will never know the things that I've already missed
